Africa has the youngest population in the world with over 226 million youth between 15-24 years old (Africa Renewal, 2013). This youth boom has been described as a “ticking time bomb” and an economic burden due to high levels of youth unemployment, a lack of education and skills, and poor social infrastructure in many African countries. According to the 2012 African Economic Outlook report, this youth boom will double by 2045.
Africa Matters believes that Africa’s youthful population is an opportunity for the development and continued growth of Africa. We exist because we want to upskill and empower the large African youth population to change the dark narrative of the continent by developing sustainable solutions to problems within their communities. Our why is that we want to see all African youth succeed.
