Abstract
Africa has the world’s youngest population and it is growing rapidly. At present, young people aged between 15 and 24 years constitute 19.4 percent of the total population, while children under 15 years are nearly 41 percent of the total population. By sheer numbers alone, the choices, opportunities and constraints of young people will continue to play a major role in shaping Africa’s development. The present report aims to provide a resource for formulating and implementing policies that promote engagement, empowerment and investment in young people in Africa. It is organized around the five priority areas in the Secretary-General’s Five-Year Action Agenda, and the United Nations System-wide Action Plan on Youth (YouthSWAP): education; health; political inclusion; protection of rights and civic engagement; and employment and entrepreneurship. Drawing on secondary sources that were supplemented by primary data collected in three countries Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa, the report seeks to contextualize major issues and challenges faced by young Africans. It documents selected good practices across the continent and goes on to propose broad recommendations.
