There is a growing need to invest in human capital within the Asia Pacific economy according to a survey of over 2,600 respondents from 1,350 organizations across 9 countries in the region. The survey found that learners are initiating more of the training, with technical and management skills being the most popular focus. Employers pay for most of the training which takes place in the classroom or online. Managers are the main source of information for learners rather than HR/L&D departments, and engagement with HR/L&D seems to be lower in some countries like Hong Kong, Singapore, and India. The rise of mobile learning and tablets is also indicated but adoption varies between countries.

This document provides an overview of various education, training, and employment programs for youth in Sub-Saharan Africa. It discusses challenges like high youth unemployment and lack of economic opportunities that have led many international organizations and NGOs to implement programs.

As a result, many youth struggle to transition from school to decent work. The report also examines health challenges like HIV/AIDS and lack of youth involvement in policymaking. It concludes that concerted efforts are needed across many areas to expand opportunities for African youth and promote broader development goals.

The document discusses youth engagement in agriculture in Southern Africa. It finds that the majority of youth live in rural areas and work in agriculture. Several regional efforts have been made to promote youth development, including the African Youth Charter. Case studies of youth and agriculture policies in six countries found that while some policies aim to support youth, few explicitly link youth to the agricultural sector. For policies to better engage youth in agriculture, efforts must be made to build youth capacity, actively involve youth in decision-making, and institutionalize youth engagement from primary school through university levels.
A Youth Strategy for Caribbean AgricultureKeeley Holder
The document discusses strategies for empowering youth entrepreneurship and employment in agriculture in the Caribbean region. It notes that while some sectors are saturated with talent, agriculture is not and presents opportunities. It argues that a new approach framing agriculture as a smart, fulfilling career choice could attract youth. However, the current reality is that agriculture is declining and not business-driven, providing few opportunities. The key things to empower youth are to select those with the right talents, equip them with needed skills, and provide a supporting framework including access to expertise, mentors, and sponsors. Leaders must also create spaces for other youth to participate.
Unemployment among youth in Sub-Saharan Africa significantly impacts development in the region. The youth population in Africa is growing rapidly but unemployment rates are very high, with over 75 million unemployed youth globally. In West Africa's ECOWAS bloc, youth unemployment rates in some countries surpass 50%. High unemployment leads to social, political, and economic problems. Governments and organizations have tried to address the issue through job programs and skills training, but more comprehensive solutions are needed to create sufficient jobs and opportunities for youth.

Providing Learning Solutions in our Community by Isah Ibn MohammedHanna Stahlberg
The document summarizes the work of the Regional Centre of Expertise (RCE) Minna in Nigeria. It describes RCE Minna's "Doing It Differently" (DID) model which places students at the center of learning through non-formal educational programs and activities outside the classroom. Some of the projects implemented this year through the DID model include leadership training programs, environmental clubs, and youth conferences on sustainable development. The model has positively impacted students by increasing awareness of sustainability issues and fostering social networks. Moving forward, the document recommends that other RCEs adopt similar student-centered learning models to complement formal education.
