Africa holds 60% of global arable land and 30% of global critical mineral reserves, including 19% of those needed for electric vehicles. 60% of Africa’s GDP is generated in cities.
118 million children, adolescents and youth across Africa are out of school, highlighting the educational challenges facing the continent’s next generation.
