AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Youth Jobs: The World Bank warns that 1.2 billion young people will enter the global labour market over the next 10–15 years, with only about 400 million jobs expected. President Ajay Banga says the Bank mobilised $112 billion in private capital last year to help tackle the shortfall. Africa’s Skills Pipeline: Africa Skills Week is focusing on turning training into jobs, while concerns grow that AI is raising the bar for young South Africans seeking entry-level tech roles. Investment and Hiring: Nigeria is targeting 850,000 jobs as the World Bank mobilises $5.79 billion in private capital; Ghana has launched a 1,238-acre industrial park aimed at boosting manufacturing and employment. Tech Jobs: Microsoft’s Nairobi development centre is reportedly closing its engineering operations, putting skilled roles in focus as the region works to expand its tech workforce.
