    • Dear Colleagues, 

      We would like to invite you to an online discussion on post-capacity development interventions to support African youth entering or already engaged in agriculture. 

      The aim of the discussion is to identify challenges and opportunities related to sustaining the impact of interventions (existing and future ones) aimed at developing capacities and engaging youth in agriculture. More specifically, the discussion will focus on existing good practices and lessons learned in this regard.

      The discussion will also support the development of a network of young agripreneurs connected to FAO platforms and initiatives. 

      The following are the questions for the discussion:

      • What are the biggest challenges youth in Africa face after going through youth-specific capacity development initiatives in agriculture? 
      • What are the examples of existing post-capacity development sustainability initiatives for youth in agriculture in Africa? What works and what does not? Are there any success stories and good practices that can be shared? 
      • What post-capacity development support do the youth need? What can the youth do to support each other in developing their skills and capacities?
      • What enabling environment is needed to ensure sustainability of youth in agriculture capacity development initiatives?
      • Is there a role for modern technologies, including Information and Communication Technologies, in sustaining capacity development initiatives?

      Please find the full introduction to this consultation on the discussion webpage (http://www.fao.org/fsnforum/fr/africa/discussions/youth-in-agriculture), where you will also find additional information and resources.

      The consultation is facilitated by Justin Chisenga, Capacity Development Officer at FAO Headquarters. He will be supported by the following subject experts:

      • Msekiwa Matsimbe, YPARD Malawi Country Representative, Malawi
