Youth unemployment represents 60% of the unemployed people in West and Central Africa. This has resulted in massive migration to unknown destinations in search of better economic opportunities.

The availability of numerous technologies and innovations devised by CORAF offer youths new opportunities to become gainfully employed. In its long-term plan, CORAF seeks to meaningfully engage youths through training in the use of available technologies in collaboration with the private sector. CORAF shall create awareness of proven and marketable technologies and innovation, build their capacities to manage agribusinesses as well as the development of soft skills, using facilities and expertise in incubation centers, national centers of specialization and facilitate the access to finance and markets.
