Show Notes
In the township of Itsoseng, South Africa, a new public-private partnership is launching a green circular economy model. This pilot program, set to launch at the Future of Sustainability Conference on March 24-25, 2026, aims to create eco-jobs and boost local income through social enterprises run by youth and women. The program includes an ecopreneurship initiative teaching financial skills, business basics, and hands-on training in areas like urban farming, waste recycling, agro-processing, and biogas systems. The project tackles big issues in marginalized communities, from unemployment to food insecurity and poor health, while sparking ownership and resilience in women and young people. A panel discussion at the conference will spotlight the project, with community leaders, experts, and officials discussing turning waste into energy, food, and jobs in low-income areas. As the model proves itself in Itsoseng, it paves the way for rollout across more South African townships and rural spots, blending jobs, green tech, and community strength.
