Jobs for Youth in Africa Strategy

African Development Bank has adopted a Jobs for Youth in Africa (JfYA) Strategy for the period 2016–2025. Launched at the Bank’s annual meetings in Lusaka in May 2016, the strategy responds to the transformational agenda laid out in the Bank’s Ten-Year Strategy and is aligned with its High-5 priorities (Light Up and Power Africa, Feed Africa, Industrialize Africa, Integrate Africa, and Improve the Quality of Life for the People of Africa). Creating productive jobs for youth will enhance their engagement in Africa’s growth and economic transformation.
