Imisepela and CEEC youth funding

Two things share the name

• Imisepela is a Zambian youth opportunity platform and app: jobs, internships, apprenticeships, scholarships and funding.
• CEEC Busulu is the government youth loan delivered through the app. Its terms are CEEC terms, not the app's.
• The Imisepela Fund for young entrepreneurs is named on the platform but its amounts and terms are not published. Ask for them in writing.

Eligibility for the CEEC youth loan

• A Zambian citizen with a Green NRC.
• Age 18 to 35.
• No adverse CRB report for you, your enterprise or any director. This is the most common reason applications are rejected.
• A mobile number registered in your own name, for mobile-money disbursement.
• No active CEEC loan under the older Busulu terms until those funds are repaid.

• The CEEC portal at empowerment.ceec.org.zm and CEEC provincial offices run the general calls. For the youth product, the app is the route the CEEC call names.
• Install the app from the official site, not from a store search.
