allAfrica.com: The AfDB's Compelling Case for Africa's Structural Transformation

allAfrica.com: The AfDB's Compelling Case for Africa's Structural Transformation: "Structural transformation will not materialize unless there is a concomitant investment in skills development in areas that have kept the continent behind other developing regions. In this regard, Africa needs to harness its natural resources to build skills for its youthful population in order to leapfrog development and secure a place in the global value chain. Developing skills will unleash the dynamism of Africa's untapped entrepreneurship potential, creating opportunities for increased job and wealth creation. An enlightened population is also important in Africa's global engagement in trade and commerce.

"The key message is that Africa should accelerate its structural transformation by boosting the potential of its youthful population, investing in science and technology and innovation, speeding up its rate of economic integration, greening the economy and supporting private sector enterprise," the report emphasized."
