Africa faces a dual public health and economic crisis that risks overwhelming healthcare systems, destroying livelihoods, and slowing the region’s growth prospects for years to come. Prior to COVID-19, in 2019, the continent had already experienced a slowdown in growth and poverty reduction overall, although with large differences between countries. The current crisis could erase years of development gains.
The crisis has and will affect Africa’s growth through domestic and external channels, with a significant impact on the well-being and number of people living in poverty. The most recent forecasts project a GDP contraction in most countries in 2020, the first in 25 years. The UN estimates that nearly 30 million more people could fall into poverty and the number of acutely food-insecure people could significantly increase.
It is believed there are still lots of opportunities for youths in Africa to restore and to raise the economies in Africa. How can youth play that role??
I welcome you to this webinar that goes by the theme : The role of youth in growing Africa Economies : Financial Recovery From COVID 19.
