📅 Mark your calendars for May 7th at 12pm as we delve into a crucial topic for our continent's future with our experts Keiko Alvarez policy analyst from OECD Development and Pr Adewumi Adebisi

's population is predicted to exceed 2.5 billion by 2050, with over 60% of our population under 25, therefore addressing youth unemployment and providing our workforce with necessary skills is crucial. Not to forget, Africa has the greatest hashtag rate, with 60% of youngsters unemployed or underemployed. Developing vocational and professional skills empowers our youth, provides job-ready skills that meet industry needs across sectors and drives African economic growth.

As African governments prioritize investments in basic education and skill development, it is imperative that they align these efforts with the goals of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

By fostering educational reform geared towards equipping young people with the necessary knowledge and skills, governments can empower them to actively participate in the socioeconomic development of their nations and capitalize on the opportunities presented by the AfCFTA.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of economies and vital to country and continent development, thus focused policies and actions to promote their growth and sustainability must be prioritized alongside educational reforms.

🌍 Today is the day!

Join us today May 2nd for our Webinar on and Wearable Medical Devices in Africa: Transforming Healthcare Accessibility in Africa. 📅

We'll explore why telemedicine is crucial for Africa's landscape, improving access to healthcare for all with our experts Adam Selamnia & Izhar Mahjoub💻

Africa faces various healthcare challenges, including shortages of healthcare professionals, inadequate infrastructure, and disease burdens such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis.

Thus, Telemedicine and wearable medical devices have the potential to bridge the gap in healthcare , especially in remote and underserved areas of Africa where access to healthcare facilities is limited. These enable individuals to receive medical consultations, monitoring, and diagnosis remotely, reducing the need for physical visits to healthcare centers and providing remote healthcare services, real-time monitoring of patients, and early detection of health issues.

The integration of telemedicine and wearable medical devices opens up new possibilities for healthcare delivery and patient care in Africa. As technology continues to advance, there is potential for further in remote diagnostics, teleconsultations, and personalized , ultimately leading to better health outcomes for individuals across the continent.

Looking forward to the discussion with our experts and representative of Ministries of Health from different African countries to see how they are integrating telemedecine & wearable medical devices to have the greater impact on their communities.

🌟 When we talk about women and women empowerment, we aren't excluding men!
Remember last October@ufmsecretariat & UNIDO Women Business Forum in Tunisia and its buzz?🎉

Good moments and fantastic people to meet, but this event was more than that.

Did you know? Only 25% of received training, despite 65% wanting it. The 26% gender gap in AI jobs highlights the need for reform. The topic "Women in and : can industry 4.0 foster women's economic inclusion in the MENA region" was appropriate because while women often work in hand crafts or services, some are also in manufacturing and industry 4.0 but not enough. We need to encourage them to go there.

Industries drive and enable national economic and social growth. Thus, Industry 4.0 must include more women.

Our founder chiraz Bensemmane falicitated a a brainstorming session focused on the crucial "Need of women in industry 4.0 & tech." A call to action, not just a conversation. With 30 women entrepreneurs and wome from the entrepreneurial ecosytem, they addressed challenges and explored policy,education & financial support options to address them and increase women's inclusion and engagement.
