The first PIM’s Brown Bag seminar in 2014 took place on February 27 at IFPRI and was dedicated to the topic of Youth Employment in Sub-Saharan Africa (with a presentation of the recently issued World Bank report on the topic). The session showed great interest among our colleagues working in the area of agricultural and food policies. Presenters included Louise Fox, co-author of the resent World Bank report on the topic, former World Bank Lead Economist and now Visiting Professor at UC Berkeley; Karen Brooks, the report’s contributor and PIM Director; and Frank Byamugisha, author of the book on land rights in Africa “Securing Africa's Land for Shared Prosperity: A Program to Scale Up Reforms and Investments”.
