East African Communityhttps://doi.org/10.60682/8r0c-y710Project briefEast Africa’s economic growth has not been matched by job generation, especially for the region’s increasing number of young men and women. Rural poverty and food insecurity remain persistent and are linked with this problem of “jobless growth”. Involving the youth in agriculture either through (self) employment or through entrepreneurship is increasingly seen as a potential solution to unemployment, food insecurity, rural poverty and migration. The region’s governments and the development community have a renewed interest in promoting and implementing youth in agriculture initiatives.enOther
