One of the key drivers of this potential is women entrepreneurship, which has been recognized as a catalyst for innovation, job creation, and poverty reduction. However, women entrepreneurs in Africa face many challenges, such as lack of access to finance, markets, skills, and networks, as well as social and cultural barriers that limit their opportunities and aspirations. How can we leverage women entrepreneurship in Africa to unleash its full potential and benefit the continent and the world?</span><p></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-587ee8ad-7fff-5409-c412-0dffbb92b6eb"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In this short post, we will explore some of the strategies and initiatives that can support and empower women entrepreneurs in Africa, such as:</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">- </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Providing access to finance</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">: Women entrepreneurs often struggle to obtain loans, grants, or investments for their businesses, due to factors such as lack of collateral, credit history, or formal business registration. To address this gap, we need to create more financial products and services that are tailored to the needs and preferences of women entrepreneurs, such as microfinance, crowdfunding, angel investing, or venture capital.

To address this gap, we need to create more platforms and opportunities that can connect women entrepreneurs with potential customers, partners, or suppliers, such as e-commerce, trade fairs, or business associations.

expected to reach 1 billion by 2050 in Africa. More than 60% is expected to be
young people ranging from 20 to 40 years old. It means the human capital that
is needed for working force. It could be a curse or a blessing for the
continent. It depends on the decisions that stakeholders are going to make in
the coming years: whether provide these young people with the opportunities to
becoming a driving force to economic development or leaving them to their fate.</span></span></i><br />

<div class="Style1" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Agriculture is a
key area in which African stakeholders and policy makers should strive to
invest .Subsidy to the
agriculture sector should increase by a significant percentage of national budget in order to make
real impact in production and people lives. There is no reason why african people should strive with hunger while there is much land for agriculture and especially the human capital for food production. </span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The policy makers have their part of responsability on how they make choices about policies that should be implemented in order to make agriculture a driven force for economic and social development. There is no miracle about making the economic growth a drive for change. Only the good policies and hard choices are the path for prosperity. So many policies about agriculture have been implemented since independances. But there is no major change, rather the sector is going backward. The reason is obvious: the policies and choices are not good. </span></span></i><br />
<i><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></i>
<i><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Governments are to blame. They implement the policies. As long as a policy is not working for the benefit of the people, governments should be the first to make hard choices. Governments are designed to serve the people for their benefit. So there is a reason to blame governments especially in the sub-sahara for their failure to make agriculture a drive for economic growth.</span></span></i><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was recently watching the news on one of our local television.
There was a comment about middle class in African nations. The commentator said
that there is a rising middle class in the sub-region because of the increase
of incomes. As junior economist my attention was drawn on the issue of middle
class in the sub region.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">What is a middle class in economics? Do we have a middle class in the sub-region?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN">The middle class
is the broad group of people in contemporary society who fall
socio-economically between the <i><b><span style="color: #444444;">working class</span></b></i>
and <i><b><span style="color: #444444;">upper class</span>. </b></i></span></span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN">In the western
countries the middle class represent a significant part of the population
constitute a driving force for economic growth. Credit Suisse's Global Wealth
Report 2014, estimated that people who belong to the middle class, have wealth between
the range of $10,000-$100,000.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN">There is a very
low rate of people who belong to the middle class in the sub-region. What we
have is should be called a <i>center</i>, a
concentration of wealth in the hands of few in most of the sub-Sahara
countries. And there is the peripheral which represent more than 80% of the
people who hold less than 5% of national wealth.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Economic development is the goal that all African nations
should strive to reach in this 21<sup>st</sup> century. It is obvious that
without economic development there cannot be poverty alleviation. It is only
through the application of sound economic policies that African nations
especially in the sub-Sahara will overcome the threatening issue of poverty. Economic
development specialists agree on four priorities that should be highlighted.
What are they?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
industrialization success depends on the standard of living of the rural areas
population. Agriculture development is vital not only because it is the sole
mean to provide food to the population, but it is also the way to reduce
significantly unemployment and curb the drift from the land. It also helps
diminish significantly the dependence on the western and Asian countries. For
instance if rice is to be grown extensively (there is enough land and a
favorable condition), it will help diminish significantly the import of rice
from Asia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It is
estimated that African population will reach over 1 billion in 2050. It means
more people to feed. If governments are unable to feed the few population they
have now, how will they deal with the inescapable reality of the population
growth. It more awareness campaign and real policies to improve women’s
standard of living are prerequisites to population growth control.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Western
countries have the monopoly of technology and fundamental research. They offer
then more opportunities for researchers and intellectuals. It is the major reason why African
intellectuals flee the continent. In order to stop that from happening India
has invested in research facilities around the country. It is obvious that it
keeps the brains in the country. It has set India on the path of technology
creativity. India is now among the most creative nations on earth and is now
among the G20 group. It is an example for African nations. Technology can be a
mean to reach economic development.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Political
stability and social welfare are prerequisite to economic development.
Therefore governments should strive to maintain a peaceful political atmosphere
in their countries. It is a signal for foreign investors who will not hesitate
to invest in the country, obviously opportunities for job creation and poverty
alleviation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

sound economic policies. It will not come from a miracle or from the western

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">In this year 2014, China is ranked by the IMF (International
Monetary Fund) the first economic power in the world. The USA was the world
leader in economy for over decades until the recent economic turmoil which
deeply impacted the USA clout over the world. As result it is declining.
According to a CIA report, USA will remain the strongest military force in the
world. Are we on the edge of a new economic order? Will Chinese dominance last
as long as USA? <span> </span><span> </span>What is the outcome for the world?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">Since the era of Mao, China has set the path to its economic
development through its social and economic revolution. The regime has made
choices that paid:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">- The extensive use of
the human capital (China has the largest human capital in the world with a
population of over 1 billion people)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">- A heavy
industrialization of the economy (China opened its market to foreign
industries)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">- The extensive use of
new technologies (Huge investments are made in research and development)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">- A huge investment in
modern infrastructures </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">- A massive export of
manufactured products especially electronics (computers, mobile phones etc…)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">Over two decades
Chinese economic growth rate was two figures till the recent economic
downturns. Will Chinese economic performance last?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">It is likely that
China will not sustain its dominance as the Americans did for two major
reasons:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">-First, the one child
policy is an obstacle to the renewal of the human capital. The ageing of the
population will lead to an exponential decrease of the active population.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">- Second, China is a
colossus with feet of clay. The regime which is communist is facing a latent
revolution which seems to be a time bomb and may explode any time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">What is the outcome
for the world?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">It is likely that
china’s dominance over the world will lead the path for new superpowers to
rise. Countries like Brazil, India and Russia will become powerful nations. A
new economic order will of course take place. The western countries will lose
their dominance over the world as result of the economic turmoil and political
crises they will encounter.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">Over all China will
become a powerful nation, but for just a short period of time. The Americans
will remain the strongest military and will lose their economic leadership, but
is likely to make a comeback for this reason: America is the most creative
nation on earth.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Africa is the poorest continent in the world especially the sub-Sahara
in term of standard of living. Paradoxically it is the richest continent in the
world in terms of raw materials. Africa has great potentials. The human
capital, the tropical weather, the bio-diversity, the cultures etc… The list
cannot be exhaustive. But these can be the drive to a true development only if
there is a true vision. The management of these potential requires a true <b>Leadership.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">What does
this means? Making people’s life better, improving their standard of living. In
this twenty first century of technology and globalization, the vast majority of
people live with less than one dollars a day. And worse some go to bed without
food. Paradoxically billions of dollars are spent every year through developing
programs in order to reduce poverty but still, most of the people are poor.
Poverty has become even endemic. So where is the money gone to? What is the use
of these programs? How will the people overcome such a threatening issue? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The
adjustment policies implemented by the Breton woods institution in the 90’s
failed to make people’s life better. NEPAD (New partnership for African
development), but since the launch of this program, it has been a decade, still
no major change. The new millennium goal is another program to make a
substantial change in people’s life, but we have not seen any major change
since the launch of such objective <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Resolving
poverty issue in Africa is more a question of programs or initiative. Are there
people with enough who would like to make real change to people’s lives? The answer
is yes. But do they have free hands to achieve their goals. In fact, this analysis
raised another issue. Everybody know a little about a man who wanted to make
things new in his country. Thomas was one of these leaders who have made a deep
print in the world history and in their people’s mind. In fact, he was a man
with vision for his country. This is such a leader Africa needs now. Leaders
with true vision and new development ideas adapted to African environment,
history and culture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Africa does
not lack such leader. But they are just not given the opportunity to act. Then
what is the blockage? Neocolonialism, is a major obstacle to African
development. If Africa does not unchain the ties with the western countries its
development will still be linked to Europe’s. Africa has to free itself from
economic ties with western countries. How? By making an efficient use of its
resources. Africa has great potential. What it needs is brilliant and
courageous minds to make good use of these potentials.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">No continent in the world has been linked to poverty
as Africa. It is in fact the poorest continent in the world. Its population is
about to reach a billion along with the consequences. More than a half of
African population lives with less than one dollar a day. Every year thousands
of people die of hunger, millions die of curable diseases. Africa is the
richest continent in terms of raw materials: That is the paradox. It is clear
that the wealth derived from the raw materials does not benefit the people of
Africa. Their standard of living is not improving. It is of course a major reason
why Africans are poor. How to overcome this?<o:p></o:p></span></strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Good governance</span></i></strong><strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> is the key issue. The misuse of public funds derived
from the sale of raw materials is a major issue in Africa. It has become a
threat to African development. When leaders are concerned with their own
interested we should not expect a change in people standard of living.
Unfortunately it is the situation of most African leaders. Fortunately we do
have some who show real concerned to their people situation. I believe it is
the case in my country: Togo. <o:p></o:p></span></strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Since the president Faure came to power, major changes
are occurring in my country. Roads are being rebuilt; reforms are being made to
foster efficiency of public institutions, policies are being implemented to
create jobs, to grow food production, and to reduce significantly poverty. And
above all he tried to reconcile his people. It seems he has a vision for his
country<span style="color: #daeef3;">: </span><i><span style="color: red;">Development
through good governance</span></i>. It simply means the good use of public
funds for the benefit of the people. When a leader is conscious of his job:
Govern for the interest of the people he has the privilege to lead; it is
likely that he will lead his country on the path of democracy and economic
development.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">What Africa needs the most is leaders who are really
concerned with the prosperity and economic development of their nation. Leaders
who have a vision for their country who do their best to lead their country on
the path of democracy and economic development should be encouraged and
supported. I believe it is the only way to overcome poverty in Africa. Africa
should not expect much from aid or a Marshall plan. Africa should rely on its
own resources. The western countries are likely to experience severe economic,
energy and even political crisis in the coming years. So this is the opportunity
for Africa to rise up and shine.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">African financial dependence over western countries
should reduce now significantly. The economic crisis occurring now in the world
is called a systemic crisis. It means the crisis spreads to any area which is
linked to the main source of the crisis. If Africa reduces significantly its
dependence with the western countries it is likely that Africa be less hit by
any major crisis which may occur in the western countries. Africa has to break
the chains of dependency with the western countries in order to free his young
population which is desperate and looking for better living. <o:p></o:p></span></strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="MsoIntenseEmphasis"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i>Poverty reduction is
possible only if African leaders become more concerned with their people needs.
They should invest their time and energy to help their people improve their
standard of living rather than misusing their nation's wealth. People also should
be wise and elect leaders who will be accountable to them and would never
deceive them, even though it is difficult to know (the case of Senegal).<o:p></o:p></i></b></span></span></span></div>

That is considered as a Jubilee. After a half century of independence, poverty, <a class="tags" href="http://www.shvoong.com/tags/development/" onclick="javascript:counttag('Development', 1, 1917613)">development</a>, Democracy and human rights are still major issues in most of African nations. Most of them remain the poorest nations in the world. After independences, to come from poverty and make <a class="tags" href="http://www.shvoong.com/tags/development/" onclick="javascript:counttag('Development', 1, 1917613)">development</a> a reality many years have been spent applying economic policies (especially from Breton Woods Institutions), billions of dollars of aid have been spent and still poverty have not reduced significantly. What went wrong? And what can be done in order to reverse the situation?<br /><br /></div><br /><div> </div><br /><div>Leadership is the key issue. <span style="font-weight: bold;">There was a failure of leadership</span>. After independences many African countries stepped into military <a class="tags" href="http://www.shvoong.com/tags/regimes/" onclick="javascript:counttag('Regimes', 1, 1917613)">regimes</a>. These regimes were dictatorship regimes and led with one gaol: rule by oppression and not be accountable to the people. That was an irony. People fought for freedom from colonialism and they got it, they in turn were oppressed by their own <a class="tags" href="http://www.shvoong.com/tags/leaders/" onclick="javascript:counttag('Leaders', 1, 1917613)">Leaders</a>. Most of the leader did not take decisive actions to lead their nations on the path of economic development and Democracy. They rather ruled for their own interest. Most of them are nowadays classified among the richest personalities in the world. They created what is called a one political party regime which ruled many <a class="tags" href="http://www.shvoong.com/tags/africans/" onclick="javascript:counttag('Africans', 1, 1917613)">Africans</a> countries for over decades. Living their people in a terrific poverty, they stayed in power without sharing it for years. </div><br /><div> </div><br /><div>For example in Togo, Gabon, and Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo), each President ruled for more than 30 years. What can be done to reverse the situation? Africa is the richest continent in raw materials, but its people are the poorest in the world. That’s the African paradox. Many years of exploitation of these raw materials did not benefit the people. But leaders and their relatives benefited the most. To come from poverty, Africans need to be ruled by accountable leaders with a real vision for their nation: economic development through hard work. In Haute Volta (now Burkina Faso) T. SANKARA tried to improve the living conditions of his people through a vision: Bringing people together in a common vision, development through hard work and patriotism. But unfortunately his work ended by a coup d’état. It become an African culture to end a regime by a coup d’état. That also added to Africans trials. The need to promote democratic regimes is also part of solutions to Africans problem. Leaders should understand that there is no need to stay in power for many years with the risk to become a dictator. Unfortunately in this twentieth century, some leaders on the continent are still holding to their sit as if there are no viable people to replace them. What they bring to their people is only frustration and anger. That is actually happening in Niger, where the president would like to change a law in the constitution in order to remain in power. </div><br /><div> </div><br /><div>Investing in people not military arsenals. Most of Africans regimes invest millions or billions of their currency in military weapon. But there are more important areas where to invest. Education must be the government’s priority. When that area is neglected, it leads to a catastrophic situation in the future, as it is the only way to improve the country human resource ability. 2010 must be a year of assessment for all African nations. Africa must not remain the last continent in the development process because it is in fact a rich continent. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718071615333369102.post-12838742979207565452010-01-19T06:53:00.000-08:002010-08-28T14:01:55.378-07:00The youth and the employment situation in Togo.Since 1993, when Togo got into the democracy process, the economic and the social<br />conditions were affected by the political crisis that emerged from the lack of democracy<br />and respect of human rights by the Togolese authorities. The young people<br />unemployment is one of the major problems that the country is facing. They seem left to<br />themselves. Most of them who are University graduates have to ride Taxi Motorcycles<br />Called “ZEMIDJAN” (in the local language) to survive. What are the causes of the<br />problem? And how can they be tackled? These are few questions we shall try to answer<br />in this small article.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>The causes of young people unemployment in Togo.</strong></span><br /></span><br />Six major causes can be highlighted. These are:<br /><br />1-<strong><span style="font-size:85%;">Corruption</span><br /></strong><span style="font-size:85%;">This a major cause that is blocking the government to create more jobs for the young people. The financial resources allocated to cope with unemployment are misused. They are used for personal expenses.</span><br /><br />2-<strong><span style="font-size:85%;">Lack of efficient employment policy.</span><br /></strong><span style="font-size:85%;">Since Togo got into democracy process, the country got into a deep political crisis that is<br />seriously aggravating the social conditions of the young people. The governmental authorities seem to be weak in resolving the unemployment issue. The National Direction for Employment Policy is a service created by the government to handle the employment issue since the 80’s. But it seems that it does not function any more, as the government is no more allocating financial resources to the Direction for its running. In most of the public services there is a need of qualified personnel, as most the workers have retired. There is a need for the<br />government to organize recruitment tests for the young people who have completed their<br />education, and give them the opportunity to work in the public services.<br />The young people are the future of the country. If the government lacks to provide work<br />for them, then the country is surely going backward. The youth have their part to do in the<br />development of the country so they must be given the opportunity or they will be hopeless<br />and will try to go to other countries. That is how the country is loosing its labor force.</span><br /><br />3-<strong><span style="font-size:85%;">The European Union Commission suspended her cooperation with Togo</span>.<br /></strong>Since 1993, the EU commission suspended her cooperation with Togo for lack of<br />Democracy and non respect of Human Rights. Togo got then into financial difficulties.<br />Development programs to help Togo cope with poverty were delayed. The situation of the<br />economy is aggravated by the suspension. The major economic sectors (Industries,<br />Companies, Financial Institutions, even the informal sector) are running slow. The<br />suspension is still on until Togolese authorities prove to be a true democratic system and<br />a State that respects Human Rights.<br /><br />4-<strong><span style="font-size:85%;">The education system does not take into account the reality on the employment market.</span><br /></strong><span style="font-size:85%;">Since the independence, the education system remained the same. There is no change in<br />the habits. The education system does not enable the students to be functional when the<br />complete their education. They need to have a professional or a technical training. That is<br />extra financial costs for the companies, enterprises and industries. It is indeed for that<br />reason that they prefer to recruit those who have got already professional experiences.<br />There is a need for the government to review the education system to make it more<br />efficient so that it does not produce unemployed. In order to enable the youth participation<br />in the nation’s development there is a need to give them a practical education that takes<br />into account the country’s reality.</span><br /><br />5-<span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Lack of initiative from the young people.</strong></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">There is one thing that one can be sure about is that the government has its limit in the<br />employment issues. It cannot provide work to all. That is why the private sector exists. It<br />is the result of initiatives. The young people should learn from their elders who have set up their own enterprises and are self-employed. They should not rely on the government to provide them with work or they will be deceived. They must start thinking about setting up a small business. May be some have the idea of starting a small business, but the financial means are lacking. This should not be an obstacle. They must keep on looking for investments from<br />particular or from the financial institutions. That is the only way they can make it.</span><br /><br />6-<strong><span style="font-size:85%;">Discrimination</span><br /></strong><span style="font-size:85%;">In some public dept even in some private dept, the recruitment is based on the ethnic, the<br />family relations, friendship and sex background. On the sex background the female are<br />privileged.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">Tackling unemployment in Togo.</span><br /></strong></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />A country without employment policy is surely going backward. A nation cannot develop<br />when his people are hopeless about employment issues. The government should be the<br />first to feel concerned about this frustrating situation. People are eager to work for not<br />only their benefit, but also for the benefit of the whole nation. It is time for the government<br />to take serious measures against corruption and discrimination the main obstacles for the<br />young people to get jobs. Some of the measures are the following:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">• Promote good governance,</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">• Setting up efficient employment policies,</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">• Fighting corruption and discrimination by all means,</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">• Reviewing the educational system,</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">• Promoting initiatives by helping financially the youth in setting up small businesses.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">These are few measures that can be fully developed for the purpose of alleviating unemployment.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718071615333369102.post-5242479824716891712009-01-28T08:00:00.000-08:002009-01-28T08:09:57.705-08:00CORRUPTION: A major obstacle to development in Africa.Every year when Transparency International, (an International Organization which assesses the economy of various nations in corruption) publishes its report on the level of corruption in the nations worldwide, it is noticeable that some African countries are in the top list. This is really sad. While a huge amount of money is being stolen from the public account, the population is in an absolute poverty, with no food, no shelter, and no adequate health infrastructure. It seems African leaders are more concerned with personal issues than with the needs of their people.<br />This is a frustrating situation as we know that they are entrusted by their population to implement policies that would enhance the standard of living. Sadly, in regions where natural resources are exploited for export, the populace living around seem left to themselves. There is no real policy to help them cope with their daily difficulties. The Delta region in Nigeria is an example that can be given among many others. That region is rich in crude oil. Millions of barrels are being produced every day. But those living around are in a shocking state.<br />There is a need for Africa to produce new leaders who have real vision for the continent, leaders who are not concerned with personal matters but who really want to improve the standard of living of their population. It is obvious that the issue of good governance is about leadership. People should elect leaders who have had experience in that area.<br /><br />Since ages, good governance which includes a transparent management of the public funds has been the key to the success of the economy in Europe and in North America. African nations should learn from these countries, how they have been able to fight against corruption and how they have implemented good policies to promote good governance. The western and North American nations succeeded through good will and endurance. The way to good governance is not an easy one. There are obstacles to deal with. Overcoming them need lots of sacrifice and commitment.<br />Corruption has weakened African nation’s economy for decades. In this 21st century, an era of progress in terms of technology and knowledge, it is unacceptable that people in Africa die from hunger, while some selfish leaders have billions of dollars in their foreign accounts. Tackling corruption must be a major goal for new leaders who are coming to power in Africa. The suffering of their people should move them to fight seriously against this lawless practice. Promoting “Zero Tolerance of Corruption” like in Ghana is a good idea that needs to be encouraged.<br />Corruption will not be completely erased, because selfish people will still be there. An old proverb says “when there is will, there is away”. They will to fight against corruption must be stronger than ever in order to achieve good governance. Africa is very rich both in natural and human resources. There is no reason why it should remain poor.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
