This Learning Series is aimed at African practitioners and policymakers interested in good practices, successes, and lessons learnt regarding women and youth unemployment and underemployment.
The series speaks to those involved in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) systems, youth development and support, technical and occupational skills development, and employability initiatives. Your perspective might be that of a policy maker, a training provider, a researcher, a funder, an implementer,
an evaluator, or a beneficiary in the key thematic and intervention areas identified in the Continental Education (CESA) and Continental TVET Strategies.
This Learning Series is a compilation of four Learning Briefs based on four focus areas identified as
critical fields for effective skills development to address youth unemployment. Each Learning Brief discusses illustrative lessons learned and tips and strategies for different components grounded in programmes, learning experiences and innovations. These are made real through inspiring success stories of how beneficiaries have taken forward the opportunities provided through skills development engagement. The four areas are:
- Disability Inclusion
- Entrepreneurship and the informal sector
- Gender-transformative change
- Demand-led skills development
