    As in other developing nations, maximizing the potential of young workers in Azerbaijan is essential for the advancement of growth and development, and the reduction of poverty. The country’s agriculture sector, mainly based on subsistence type farming, provides employment to 36.3 percent of the workforce. The sector also generates about two fifths of household income in rural areas. Recognizing the need to safeguard opportunities for rural youth, the government set youth employment in the agriculture sector as a country priority. The aim of the project was to enhance the self employability and entrepreneurship opportunities of rural young women and men.

    Boosting Decent Employment and Self-Employment Opportunities in Agriculture and Agribusiness for Youth in Africa - GCP/INT/920/MUL 2024
    Also available in:
    Africa has the world’s youngest population, with more than 600 million people under the age of 24 and more than 750 million under the age of 35. The growing youth population is challenging Africa’s ability to meet the demand for jobs, which has pushed many to migrate out of rural areas and across borders. The agricultural sector in Africa can play a key role in solving the youth employment challenge that threatens stability and growth in many countries across the continent. Against this background, in partnership with the African Union Commission (AUC), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) developed the comprehensive Opportunities for Youth in Africa (OYA) joint programme, in response to a dedicated call for accelerating efforts on job creation for African youth, especially through agribusiness and entrepreneurship development. This OYA project was implemented in six pilot countries: Cabo Verde, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Tunisia, and Zambia.
