🌾 Africa has the youngest population in the world - a powerful engine for economic and social transformation. Yet, more than 20% of its youth are not in employment, education, or training.

The agrifood system remains the backbone of Africa’s economies and offers immense potential for job creation and innovation. But realizing this potential requires targeted policies, investments, and new opportunities for youth engagement.

Join the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), CGIAR, and AGRA-Sustainably Growing Africa’s Food Systems. for The Future of Youth Jobs in Agrifood Systems in Africa on July 15, 2025.
