🔴 Une Industrie Robuste Pour Créer des Emplois de Qualité en Afrique
🔴 La création d’emplois est au cœur de la stratégie du Groupe de la Banque mondiale. De toutes les régions, c’est l’Afrique qui sera confrontée, au cours des trois prochaines décennies, à la croissance la plus rapide de la population en âge de travailler. Avec jusqu’à 12 millions de jeunes entrant chaque année sur le marché du travail, alors que seulement 3 millions d’emplois formels sont créés, le fossé entre les ambitions et les opportunités réelles ne fait que grandir. En tant que branche du Groupe de la Banque mondiale dédiée au secteur privé, la Société financière internationale (SFI) permet aux entreprises de toutes tailles — source de 90 % des emplois sur le continent — de se développer et d’embaucher.
🔴 Un Entretien avec Henrik Elschner Pedersen, directeur régional de la SFI pour l’Industrie manufacturière, l’Agribusiness et les services à lire ici → forbesafrique.com/une-indust…

ALT Depuis 2021, la SFI a engagé et mobilisé en Afrique plus de 7,2 milliards de dollars pour l’industrie, près de 3,5 milliards pour l’agribusiness et environ 3,8 milliards pour les services, y compris dans les secteurs de la santé, du logement et du tourisme.
