When Africans talk about what they want for their continent, the chatter is varied and often contradictory. We need jobs! We need roads! We need aid! We don’t want more aid! We want trade!
What does Africa really need to achieve if African children are to come of age in a continent that offers them more opportunity?
From Cape Town to Cairo, there is an underlying consensus that it is African children themselves who form the basis of the continent’s future.
It’s estimated that by 2050, Africa’s youth will make up nearly 30% of the world’s youth population.
Some economists and analysts say this “youth bulge” is a positive trend because Africa’s people are its most precious asset.
