Over the past decade at IXO we have built the protocols and machinery for intelligent digital measurement, reporting, verification, and financing. But digital protocols and tools don't just magically show up to do a better job of building the real-world systems that are needed to sustain youth livelihoods and to grow the Green Economy.
Building these systems and making them work needs real people with the know-how to configure the protocols, use the tools, foster relationships, and build trust. We call these people "Solutioneers". The first cohort of 14 young IXO Solution Engineers from across Africa are now well underway with their 6-month certification course.
This first cohort runs in parallel with a Yoma Impacts Exchange Design Programme, to make the learning real, and to build capacity within the participating organisations.
The training is hands-on. "Solutioneers" are embedded directly into partner organisations, working side-by-side with the implementers on the ground to engineer systems for the real-world constraints and realities they encounter. They are designing and building real solutions to enable scaling up of youth participation in the green economy, across a diverse range of partner organisations.
- SupaMoto, Zambia: Solutioneers are mapping clean cooking operations into verifiable enterprise resource logic. This includes hardware distribution, customer servicing, stove-use monitoring, and the data pathways required to support future carbon credit certification and results-based financing.
- Umuzi: Solutioneers are structuring verifiable outcome pathways for youth training, work readiness, internships, learnerships, entrepreneurship support, and sustained employment. The work focuses on translating a young person’s journey from participation to completion, placement, and livelihood outcomes into evidence-backed credentials and outcome certificates.
- DUCT - Duzi Umngeni Conservation Trust: Solutioneers are configuring digital measurement, reporting, and verification workflows for youth-led environmental and public health fieldwork. This includes river health monitoring, field evidence capture, evaluator review, verified claims, digital credentials, and potential rules-based payment flows.
- Shonaquip: Solutioneers are exploring how disability awareness, assistive technology access, inclusion training, and community-based advocacy can be represented through verifiable claims and impact certificates. The work focuses on making inclusion-related activities and outcomes easier to evidence, coordinate, and report.
- Hoedspruit Hub: Solutioneers are developing workflows for youth-led education and community development activities, including foundational learning support and local enterprise pathways. The focus is on turning facilitation, attendance, learner support, and completion evidence into verifiable records of contribution and impact.
- GreenPill Cape Town: Solutioneers are exploring how grassroots coordination, regenerative action, learning activities, and community participation can be captured as verifiable shared state. The work focuses on recognising local contributions and making community-led impact more visible, trusted, and actionable.
