A July 2020 East African Community job advertisement for 41 vacancies attracted more than 10,000 applications, reflecting the unemployment crisis in the region.
According to data on unemployment in the region, more than 80 percent of young people in East Africa are jobless.
This is why one of the items on the agenda of the February 27 East African Community Heads of State Summit will be the state of unemployment in the region.
The Council of Ministers will meet on February 22, ahead of the summit, to discuss staff recruitment for various EAC agencies.
