The African Development Bank adopted in May 2016 the “Jobs for Youth in Africa” (JfYA) Strategy for the period of 2016 – 2025. This Strategy responds to the priorities in the Bank’s Ten Year Strategy and the New Corporate Priorities (High-5s), specifically the High 5 of Improving the Quality of Life for the People of Africa. Creating productive jobs for the youth would improve their living conditions and enhance their engagement in Africa’s growth and economic transformation. The JfYA Strategy was launched during the Bank’s Annual Meetings in May 2016, in Lusaka to commence its operationalization.
