We had a conversation with Sharmi Surianarain, chief impact officer at Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator, a not-for-profit social enterprise that is building African solutions to the global challenge of youth unemployment. Harambee recently received a USD 18 million grant from Co-Impact to scale its impact.
Sharmi outlines why it’s important to take a holistic view to reforming outdated approaches to both education and employment in order to break barriers to youth employment.
Africa is the youngest continent in the world, and will have the largest workforce by 2030. We are on the brink of something big if African countries can figure out how to attract investment into the future of work.
