Dr. Richard Munang Monologues
In the life of any nation or continent there exist decisions upon which the future of that nation or continent depends. Recognizing that there is a time to gather stones and a time to scatter them can be the turning point.
We are 2 years into the implementation of the Sustainable development Goals and the continent of Africa is faced with insurmountable challenges that are unprecedented in their scale and complexity- climate change & ecological degradation, poverty ,food insecurity, unemployment and the list goes on BUT there is one challenge which if left unaddressed could have more dramatic consequences. This is the youth bulge. The majority of Africa’s population is youthful and up to 60% of them are unemployed. In 8 years from today, the number of Africans reaching working age will exceed the rest of the world combined.
Africa doesn’t lack Ideas, This continent doesn’t lack Innovations. Africa has everything it takes to move from Talk to Action.
