Across Africa, young girls and women face barriers to technical and vocational education due to social norms, long distances and high costs. Female participation is lowest in Tanzania (12%) and Seychelles (18%) and highest in Niger (49%) and São Tomé and Príncipe (56%). To unlock Africa's potential, we must invest in skills development for everyone, ensuring equal opportunities for women.

Promoting better policies for better lives in emerging & developing economies. Newsletter: oe.cd/dev-news
À propos
Promoting better policies for better lives in emerging and developing economies is an integral part of the OECD’s mission. It is also an essential contribution to the prosperity and stability of its members. Most OECD departments and special bodies therefore lend their expertise to supporting policy making in partner countries, but only three of them specialise in international development: the OECD Development Co-operation Directorate, the OECD Development Centre, and the Sahel and West Africa Club. The OECD Development cluster works in close co-operation with OECD sectoral committees and directorates. It leverages the Organisation’s assets to support better policies globally, and advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The cluster’s combined networks and expertise ensures that this support is directly informed by partner countries’ governments and stakeholders, adapted to their specific challenges and opportunities, and implemented with regional partners.

Globally, risks of sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment (SEAH) are on the rise. This worrying trend is fueled by a global pushback against gender equality, an increase in violent conflicts around the world, more humanitarian crises, and rising authoritarianism. We've just marked five years since the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) adopted the first international standard on ending SEAH in development co-operation and humanitarian assistance. This landmark agreement has driven progress, with most adherents now having systems in place to prevent and respond to SEAH. But there is more work to be done. Ensuring programmes across all sectors include ways to prevent SEAH, fully involving local organisations & communities, providing enough money and resources to these efforts, and measuring the quality & impact of systems remain essential. Explore new analysis on the implementation of the DAC Recommendation ➡️ https://brnw.ch/21wLh24 #EndSEAH

North Africa can lead in renewable energy, potentially exporting $110 billion in green hydrogen per year by 2050. 🔆 Developing skills in solar, wind and project management could create 2.7 million jobs and improve energy security.

Investing in education and training in Africa boosts earnings and productivity significantly. Education, especially at the university level, has higher private and social returns in Africa than anywhere else. Better-educated workers increase manufacturing firm productivity by up to 48%. Despite this, 68% of self-employed workers in Africa are underqualified for their jobs. It's time to bridge this skills gap for a more prosperous future. African Union #AfricaDevelopment

Out now: #AfricaDevelopment Dynamics 2024 By 2050, Africa's working-age population will nearly double, making up 85% of the global increase. Young Africans are becoming more educated, but they face a lack of quality jobs. Over 80% aim for high-skilled jobs, yet only 8% find them. Skill shortages in sectors like agrifood, renewable energy and mining hinder growth and investment. How can countries address these gaps to unlock the continent’s full potential?

To boost economic growth, Africa must invest in better skills for better jobs. By 2050, Africa’s working-age population will double. Education levels are rising, but most workers still have low-quality, informal jobs due to skill gaps and a lack of quality employment. Over 80% of African young people aim for high-skilled jobs, but only 8% find them. Skill shortages in key sectors, such as agrifood, renewable energies and mining, hinder private investment, perpetuating economic informality. How can we shift this dynamic? ➡ Expand quality education ➡ Develop national skill strategies ➡ Improve labour market data ➡ Boost informal worker productivity ➡ Invest in technical and vocational education ➡ Harmonise regional frameworks Learn more in the new #AfricaDevelopment Dynamics report 👉 https://oe.cd/il/5Cv African Union
