    • What are the biggest challenges youth in Africa face after going through youth-specific capacity development initiatives in agriculture?

      The challenges affect youth most of the time are more likely linked to asymmetric information limit access to markets and this can not solved by relying on ICT or communication itself.

      The information to promote youth involved in Agriculture, is merely and fundamentaly to the willingness of different nations in Africa to give hand for the youth in fact once the information as channel to liberalize. youth can be able to engage in viable and sustainable agricultural ventures.

      Access to markets for youth is becoming even more difficult due to the growing international influence of  the rigorous standards of their supply chains. Young  in developing countries face additional constraints in accessing markets, due in part to the fact that their freedom of movement is sometimes limited by cultural norms.
