The Future of Education and Skills in Africa

Africa’s working-age population is expected to double by 2050. At the same time, emerging sectors like renewable energies, mining, the digital economy, and agri-food have potential. Yet there is a skills gap between job seekers and the labour market. Both enrolment rates and the quality of education appear to fall short. Low productivity deters investment, hindering the emergence of new industries and the demand for quality jobs.

How can better education and training increase Africa’s productivity, and create more opportunities for quality jobs? Building on the analysis and policy recommendations of the 2024 African Union-OECD Africa’s Development Dynamics report, the 23rd International Economic Forum on Africa will gather public-sector decision makers, private investors and philanthropic actors to explore strategies for education and skills development in Africa, and ways to enhance quality, inclusivity and funding.
