African Union (AU) has designated this year as the Year of Education, highlighting the critical role that education plays in driving socio-economic development across the continent. This focus aligns with several strategic initiatives, including the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), AU Agenda 2063, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These initiatives collectively aim to harness the potential of Africa's youthful population through improved education and skills development, ultimately facilitating better labour mobility and economic integration.
In this context, the upcoming high-level webinar on "Skills Partnership on Labor Migration" will explore innovative strategies and best practices that can enhance labour mobility and address skills shortages within Africa. By delving into the concept of demand-led skills-based labour migration, the webinar seeks to shed light on how the AU can collaborate with member states and stakeholders to create a conducive environment for skilled workers to move freely and contribute to the continent's development agenda.
Expected Outcomes of the webinar
- Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the current state of labour migration in Africa and the critical role of skills partnerships.
- The panel will provide actionable recommendations for policymakers to enhance labour mobility and address skills mismatches.
- The webinar will foster strategic partnerships between African countries and international stakeholders, promoting collaborative efforts to address labour migration challenges.
