Goal 1 Economy & Employment:
Rising employment, productivity and incomes are the surest long-term solution to reducing inequality. Mr Price Foundation is supporting the call for programmes around skills, job creation and entrepreneurship to broaden opportunities for sustainable employment and economic growth. Our agribusiness entrepreneur training and small business incubator programmes help create jobs in agriculture and activate rural economies.

Goal 4 Inclusive Rural Economy:
Rural areas are marginalised and many households are trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty. Our HandPicked programme activates rural economies through infrastructure development of greenhouse food hubs, it supports small-scale and micro agribusiness development through skills and entrepreneurship training, and it improves efficient use of scarce resources, including water and land.

Goal 7: Education, Training and Innovation:
Building our nation’s capabilities starts with quality education at all levels: from ECD to life-long development. Our EduRise programme intervenes in the foundation years of education to make the biggest impact on learning outcomes, and improves accountability and competency of schools and educators. Our skills development programmes identify skills gaps, and match demand with training to boost opportunities for youth.

Goal 10 Social Protection:
Interventions are aimed at reducing social and economic risk and vulnerability. Employment and economic participation are the best forms of social protection. Mr Price Foundation programmes help vulnerable groups participate in the economy, particularly black youth where unemployment rates are painfully high, and assists children from low-income communities to access quality education. The foundation also supports other NGOs and provides relief during crisis situations.

Goal 13 Uniting the country:
South Africa needs to build people's capabilities through measures that include access to quality education and employment, and transforming ownership patterns of the economy. A major challenge is to put youth into work, as rampant unemployment threatens social stability and progress. Women also suffer inequality in the education system and labour market; while many rural households are trapped in poverty. The foundation is contributing to build a united, prosperous nation by programmes which unlock the potential in children and vulnerable groups.
