The weakening of the global recovery in 2012 and 2013 has further aggravated the youth jobs crisis and the queues for available jobs have become longer and longer for some unfortunate young jobseekers. So long, in fact, that many youth are giving up on the job search. The prolonged jobs crisis also forces the current generation of youth to be less selective about the type of job they are prepared to accept, a tendency that was already evident before the crisis.

Efforts to accelerate agricultural growth and improve food security are separated conceptually from efforts to create jobs for young people. This is a damaging compartmentalization, and if continued will likely result in the forfeit of Africa’s youth dividend. Efforts to enhance agricultural growth and those to create employment for young people are complementary, and must be so understood.

Youth livelihood programs must engage and support youth, most of whom are already economically active and focused on the immediate needs of their households, and who desire more sustainable and socially constructive livelihood pathways. The challenge is to determine how to encourage these youth and help them acquire the relevant competencies and resources necessary to enhance their livelihoods, and ultimately the livelihoods of others within their communities. Read this guide to help understand how to design effective youth livelihood strategies.
