Supporting sustainable tertiary education in Africa

Africa is the world’s fastest-growing region, with a population of over one billion people, around 60% of whom are under the age of 25. By 2050, there will be close to 2.5 billion people on the continent, accounting for more than a quarter of the world’s population.

This “youth dividend” presents a significant opportunity. However, it is also likely to place further pressure on existing socio-economic structures, which must grow with demand in a way that is sustainable and equitable if the huge potential of Africa’s young people is to be realised.
