2. The Challenge
3. Youth unemployment is perhaps the most pressing problem facing the African continent. 60% of youth in Africa are not in employment, education or training (NEET).
4. Youth lack the necessary resources to access training, learning and internship opportunities, exacerbating the imbalance between jobs available and workseekers.
5. Only 35% of Africa’s population has access to the internet through desktop computers, but over 80% of the continent’s 1 billion people have access to mobile devices. M E A N S O F A C C E S S
6. Mobile phones have allowed the benefits of ICT to filter down to the general African populace, especially the young. South Africa boasts a mobile youth penetration of 72%. T H E F U T U R E I S M O B I L E
