Africa’s youthful population holds vast potential for growth, yet educated African youth struggle to secure suitable employment due to the mismatch between higher education provision and labour market demands.
To address this issue, the UNESCO-China Funds-in-Trust Phase III: Higher technical education in Africa for a technical and innovative workforce (CFIT III) partnered with 12 universities in Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Gabon, Senegal, the United Republic of Tanzania, and Uganda to support higher technical skills development for youth in response to the fast-changing skills needs for sustainable national development.
Following 18 months of project implementation, the 2023 CFIT III annual meeting brought together over 300 project partners to share knowledge and good practices in the field of higher technical education, fostering effective collaborative initiatives for youth skills development in Africa.
Highlights from the event, held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania from June 13 to 15, 2023.
