Africa has the world’s biggest population of young people, with more than 60% of the population under the age of 25.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution might give a lifeline to this youthful, eager population, with 72 percent of its labor force in “vulnerable” employment and numerous nations facing governance and violent extremist difficulties.

Young leaders are proposing relevant solutions to construct a more sustainable area in the face of these challenges and possibilities.
