Wanted: jobs for Africa’s youth - Public Works
| |
| In many countries, immediate, short-term solutions are needed to quickly ease the burden of unemployment. Public works programmes are a popular option.

in developing countries, and from 40 to 60 per cent of public investment,
according to the World Bank. A reorientation of policies on
infrastructure investment to ensure that technically viable and cost-effective

according to each country’s needs and resources. |
