Africa’s Job Engine | World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026

Описание: Africa stands at a defining moment as a surging youth population and rapid urbanization intensify the demand for jobs and inclusive services amid declining traditional aid. Through the African Union’s 10-Year Strategy, efforts are gaining traction to scale the continent’s 2 million social enterprises, a vital engine for employment and locally-driven growth.

This briefing explores whether these initiatives can truly unlock Africa’s potential and convert its demographic momentum into long-term, sustainable prosperity.

Speakers: Godfrey Mutizwa, Ahmed Shide Mohamed, Angela Oduor Lungati, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar
