      Infrastructure development is crucial for Africa's demographic dividend, particularly in transportation and communication. Improving transportation networks enhances connectivity, facilitates trade, and reduces costs for businesses.

          Africa should focus on quality education in order to equip the young people with skills for modern jobs or skills to create their own business. Governments should put effort in creating good institutional, political, economic and social environment to empower our youth. I think all depends on political will.
