Fact

YouthConnekt Africa (YCA) has emerged as a high-impact solution for African

countries to realize the demographic dividend. Launched in Rwanda in 2012,

YouthConnekt has been embraced for its innovative design and implementation providing

youth with the skills, networks and information needed to scale their initiatives and gain

meaningful employment. To date, six countries have already launched YouthConnekt and
