Empowering youth to engage in responsible investment in agriculture and food systems: challenges, opportunities and lessons learned from six African countries (Côte d’Ivoire, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Uganda)

Empowering youth to carry out and benefit from responsible agricultural investment is key to ensure sustainable food security. However, youth are often reluctant to engage in agriculture or agribusiness related activities because of various challenges that limit their capacity to carry out those investments needed to ensure that their own farming or processing activities can be successfully launched or expanded. This report summarizes the main common opportunities and challenges to empower youth to carry out and benefit from responsible agricultural investment that were identified in a series of workshops with participants from Côte d'Ivoire, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Uganda. This publication contains sections on: challenges and opportunities of current demographic and economic trends; the inclusiveness of policy processes related to investment in agriculture and food systems; key areas to strengthen the policy, legal and regulatory framework; organizations and services that empower youth; and education opportunities
