COVID-19 Learning Brief
Comparative observations from Kenya and South Africa on youth skills development and employment
The global Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has not only impacted health, lives, and economies, but also the labour market and the education sector. Governments, policymakers, private sector groups, trade unions, and other stakeholders are attempting to respond to rapidly changing circumstances.
Collation of information for this brief is a collaboration between GDI, GOYN and Accenture South Africa on behalf of the AUDA-NEPAD. It leverages reports, opinion pieces as well as primary data on COVID-19. Its purpose is to provide a reflection on the COVID-19 experiences of Kenya and South Africa on youth skills development and employment through observations, insights and lessons for the future.
