After an insightful first webinar focusing on women entrepreneurs, Djembe Communications – the pan-African communications consultancy – is geared to host its next webinar entitled “Africa Jobs 2020” on June 9, 2016.

Renowned panelists including leading African influencers and business leaders will share their perspectives on how the employment, entrepreneurial spirit, and new technologies can work toward ensuring that all young people in Africa have access to building more prosperous livelihoods.

Referring to a recent research report commissioned by Djembe Communications, Kevin Nolan, Director – International for Djembe Communications, commented: “Job creation is truly the most important issue for the future of the sub-Saharan region, with the largest percentage (48%) of survey respondents recognising its significance. Moreover, African leaders at the recent World Economic Forum in Kigali discussed the various challenges for job creation in Africa, focusing on opportunities for public-private partnership that will generate more jobs and higher living standards in Africa as a whole. At Djembe we are committed to leading conversations around how the continent addresses this dilemma and greatly look forward to hearing the perspectives of our esteemed panelists and participants.”
The webinar is being held in partnership with the African Innovation Foundation, the organisation dedicated to innovation-led socio-economic development in Africa, RED, a youth engagement and marketing digital agency, and G.E. Africa, an organisation moving, building, powering and curing the continent with innovative and sustainable solutions tailored for each country they serve in the region.
