The potential for growth in African countries and cities is significantly influenced by the population dividend and migration patterns. Attracting young, talented migrants to cities is a key growth driver, yet many African countries face challenges in improving their education and training systems to equip a burgeoning young workforce with the skills needed for a modern economy. Additionally, cities struggle to create environments that provide stable jobs and enable young talents to contribute to the local economy.?
