At the moment SABAA works on and supports:

• Experimenting in a Social Lab with micro-funding to establish working and beneficial circular economy projects. As opposed to micro-credits, these funds do not go back to a bank with some interest, but they are paid back without interest to the relevant community who decides who will get those funds the next time. Evaluation in 2024, when successful, larger roll-out in 2025 with the involvement of donors and communities on site. Special: No strings and rules attached by SABAA, all decisions and handling autonomously by the local communities on site. Partner: Ghana National Philanthropy Forum, Project Human Aid, Kivoga, Burundi.
• StartHub Africa in Uganda: Running of an Entrepreneurship certificate is being supported. This is done by StartHub Africa in collaboration with several Ugandan universities and hubs. The further development of offers and organizational structures is being supported.  Research and writing of studies on entrepreneurship and skills in the EAC is being supported.
• Teaming up with Kyambogo University, Kampala, Uganda, and Akademie Mode und Design, Berlin, for a DAAD-funded project in textile technology and fashion design with a strong focus on sustainability.
• Supporting music education for youngster provided by HOPE Center Uganda. This blends in with the development of a music production training.
• Having published a study on digital entrepreneurship in the East African Community for GIZ together with StartHub Africa in Uganda (for the study, see below), a new project looks into running of practical trainings of entrepreneurial skill-sets in the EAC within the university context.
• Cooperating with COFEPRE (Collectif des femmes pour la Protection de lÈnvironnement et de lÈnfant) in Douala, Cameroon in a project funded by Schmitz-Stiftungen on entrepreneurial training for young women in the beauty- and care-industry for upscaling informal skills.
• Planning on developing social businesses and initiatives in the fields of art and the creative industries (art gallery for modern art of African origin / art award every two years / online tutorials for music production) - pushing for a new image of "Africa" , its daily life and a new interpretation of those specifically framed ideas of "Africa ".
• Planning on developing a social business in the field of creative industries to support sub-Saharan African artists.
