Book excerpt: This volume explores the pressing issues of entrepreneurship education and development in Southern Africa. It discusses the various roles of higher education institutions in enhancing entrepreneurship in localised communities, and provides a systematic solution for improving the Southern African economy by realising the importance of empowering the youth with entrepreneurial skills. In addition, successful development requires effective policies and contemporary approaches to both community engagement and entrepreneurship management. The book uses different Southern African case studies to discuss the various issues and innovations in entrepreneurship in the country.
