As part of the Young Africa Works strategy, we intend to deepen our engagement with a smaller number of countries to gain an understanding of their economic priorities and opportunities. Working with governments and the private sector, we take a holistic view of countries and their economies to identify growth sectors and develop a long-term plan to drive system-level change.
