From Analysis to Action: ​ This afternoon, Prof. Leonida Kerubo @UoNDVCRIE has delivered a powerful mandate during the presentation of the Africa Unemployment Outlook Report 2026 by World Data Lab at UoN Towers. ​She emphasized that we must move beyond data and toward national transformation: ​"Youth unemployment should be viewed not merely as a challenge, but as a national development priority. It represents both a demographic opportunity and a potential risk. However, we cannot afford to engage in analysis without action... there is thus an urgent need to align our actions with both national and global development agendas. I would like to encourage all participants here to translate these insights into actionable programs, strategic investments, and meaningful reforms." ​The Key Takeaway: • ​National Priority: Elevating youth employment to the top of the development agenda. • ​Urgent Alignment: Bridging the gap between university research and global goals. • ​Tangible Results: Moving from "analysis" to "strategic investments." ​@uonbibusiness ​#UoNResearch #YouthEmployment #Innovation
