Episode 363 - How Entrepreneurs Are Solving Africa’s Unemployment Crisis Elizabeth Ntege

Join host Justin Forman as he sits down with Elizabeth Ntege, Group CEO of NFT, in Kampala, Uganda, for an inspiring conversation about tackling one of the world's greatest challenges: unemployment. Elizabeth shares how her human resource management firm is addressing gainful unemployment across 12 African countries while creating environments where employees thrive according to Kingdom principles. This episode explores the harsh realities of job scarcity in Africa, where corruption has become normalized and desperate job seekers face exploitation. Elizabeth vulnerably discusses the painful decision to walk away from a $2 million contract rather than compromise their values, and how God used that sacrifice to create new opportunities for hundreds of workers. Discover how Elizabeth's Faith Driven Entrepreneur journey transformed her business philosophy from scarcity to abundance, leading to partnerships with organizations like MasterCard Foundation to create millions of jobs across the continent.
