Entrepreneurship education, as a potential precursor to entrepreneurial spirit, has often been confined to Western theories. However, the field of entrepreneurship education in Africa is making significant strides in contributing to the body of knowledge on entrepreneurship education and youth entrepreneurship. This book, authored by Mbeteh and Pellegrini, takes a contextual approach to entrepreneurship education in resource-constrained contexts, particularly prevalent in African countries and developing regions worldwide. By drawing upon entrepreneurial competences and pedagogical approaches, the authors present a unique framework for building effective entrepreneurship education programs within developing countries. This resource serves as a valuable reference for future researchers interested in exploring entrepreneurship education in developing nations, filling a gap in current research.

The Entrepreneurial Behaviour series is dedicated to broadening the scope of Entrepreneurial Behaviour theory and analysis while fostering cross-cultural and multidisciplinary perspectives. By encouraging diverse approaches, the series aims to enrich practice and enhance understanding of entrepreneurial behavior across different cultures and disciplines.
