Addis Ababa, 28 January 2021 - According to the African Development Bank (AfDB), the youth account for 60% of all unemployed Africans. As gloomy as the situation may look, it seems there is hope at the end of the tunnel through the game-changing African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The pact has ignited hope that this statistic can be altered and skewed positively towards the economic progression of the young people on the continent.
To better understand the extent of the challenge of unemployment on the continent, the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD) launched the PIDA Job Creation Toolkit during the 5
th PIDA Week held in Egypt, Cairo, in 2019. The PIDA Job Creation Toolkit is an innovative tool for tracking the impact of regional infrastructure development projects on the African labour market.
