The reason I put a strong emphasis on young Africans and their SMEs is that, first, they are the drivers of the African economy. SMEs run by youth account for close to 60 per cent of Africa’s GDP, creating about 450 million jobs. Also, young Africans are at the cutting edge of technological advancements, whether it is in Kampala or Nairobi. They are developing the latest software to drive e-commerce and so on. We will be making a catastrophic mistake if we don’t include these important segments of our society in the implementation of this agreement.
