The just ended Kusi Ideas Festival saw discussions on issues that could help transform Africa in the future into a global power house.

 

On the final day of the festival there was a discussion on how the youth could be part of Africaโ€™s transformation agenda. Held under the theme โ€œWhen African Youth Get Behind The Wheel,โ€ the session gave the youth the opportunity to delibarate on issues.

 

With the youth being Africaโ€™s greatest resource, the African Union Agenda 2063 recognises youth as a vital force to shape the future of Africa. It is expected that by 2030 the African youth will constitute 42% of the global population.

 

The youth therefore called on strategic up-skilling by learning institutions to balance the need with output. They spoke of a need for a curriculum peculiar to addressing Africaโ€™s needs.

 

They are of a view that the youth must be well educated with the right skills. A call was also made for intitutions to fund reasearch as well as support growth of their alumniโ€™s.
