Boosting Decent Employment for Africa’s Youth
Boosting Decent Employment for Africa’s Youth is a three-year partnership by Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the Dutch Knowledge Platform on Inclusive Development Policies (INCLUDE), and the International Labour Organization (ILO). It is a research initiative that aims to generate rigorous evidence on soft skills, digital jobs and work-based learning to boost decent jobs for youth.
Led by IDRC, a first cohort of eight research projects is underway in nine countries of sub-Saharan Africa. The initiative, which involves more than 65 multidisciplinary researchers, focuses on generating new evidence, sharing knowledge and advocating for evidence-informed policy-making and programming.
