Dear all,
Thanks for the consultation.
The Centre d'Actions pour l'Environnement et le Developpement Durable in Benin conducted in 2017 a study to explore the youth profile regarding their implication in agribusiness. The report provides insightful results and shows that youth are heteregenous and should be categorised before any initiative of youth implication in agribusiness. The study reveals four categories of youth: 'Undecided no-entrepreneurs', 'entrepreneurs with agricultural traning', 'entrepreneurs without agricultural traning' and 'no-entrepreneurs interested by agribusiness'. Further, The cross-analysis of these categories with some indicators of the business environment in agriculture shows that they cannot succeed in this business environment unless some capacitive imperatives are given to them. Hence, policies should consider the profile of youth in their programmes, support the improvement of the agricultural training curriculum by including capacities imperatives and improve the business environment in agriculture.
Therefore, the experts at the Rwanda Youth conference could discuss for a). Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship, how to mainstream the youth profile and capacities imperatives in the policies and curricula, respectively.
Regards.
Donald Houessou
