SUMMARY:Unlocking youth livelihoods through digital skills
DESCRIPTION:As Africa’s “youth quake” approaches — with the population aged 15–24 expected to grow by 42% by 2030 — finding employment is becoming an urgent challenge. Is digital training the answer? Can global job opportunities open up for these young people? \nJoin us online to explore how digital skills programmes are already creating pathways to employment for youth in underserved communities. Hear directly from practitioners working on the ground\, as well as a researcher who will share best practices\, success stories\, and the challenges we must address to ensure these initiatives are effective\, ethical\, and scalable. \nOur moderator \n\nKirsten Schuettler – Economist\n\nOur panelists \n\nMaeghan Ahumuza – Operations Lead\,  Era92\nValerie Okumu – Development Officer\,  Konexio Africa\nDr Funda Ustek Spilda – Senior Lecturer and SE Asia Programmes Lead at the Department of Digital Humanities\, King’s College London\nBrizan Were – Co-founder and Managing Director\, Lions Strength
