Socio-professional integration and training of young people have become major global issues. The risks associated with the explosion of youth unemployment require action without delay, particularly in the countries of the South. Indeed, it is difficult to cope with the growing number of young people in the job market. Finding a job remains difficult for a young person, even qualified or qualified.

On the African continent, 25 million young people enter the job market each year (32 million per year are expected in 2030 according to the United Nations!). If youth is the wealth of this continent – with a number of active people which will include 330 million more young people in 2030 – it also represents a major challenge in terms of education and integration of these young people, particularly in rural areas… Indeed, the agricultural sector – which employs up to 60% of the population in the majority of sub-Saharan African countries, or even 75% in the Sahel – will have difficulty “absorbing” these millions of young people. The cause is the significant fragmentation of farms linked to demographic pressure as well as the disinterest of many young people in agricultural activity, due to a lack of decent remuneration and attractive working and living conditions. Furthermore, the lack of financial resources considerably limits the scope of interventions by the State, its partners and the projects implemented, and thus prevents a response to the needs and expectations of these young people. In this context, it is urgent to provide solutions to develop the capacities of African youth and give them the baggage they need so that they can, ultimately, integrate socially, professionally and economically.
