Each year, 10 million young Africans enter the continent’s workforce, more than ever before.

Illustrated throughout with tables, boxed examples and graphs, this publication highlights progress encouraging the role of young people in Africa’s socio-economic growth through agriculture. The comprehensive and detailed chapters look at the current status of youth in agriculture, the role of young people in agricultural productivity and entrepreneurship, finance, ICTs and capacity building, and establishing a conducive policy environment for youth engagement.
