Africa Matters: African Youth Demands

In Kenya, where youth unemployment is at around 67%, many young people are turning to vocational training to boost their chances of finding work. And in Ghana, climate change and overfishing are taking a toll on fish stocks—but the government has now launched its first initiative to protect aquatic life and the livelihoods of coastal communities.
