The Africa Development Conference is a student-led event that convenes academia, students, and practitioners to highlight and explore critical issues related to the African continent\u2019s development. This year\u2019s ADC will take place between the 15th \u2013 16th of April, 2023, at the Harvard Law School, Cambridge, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

In his key note address, president Akufo Addo said Africa\u2019s huge population of young people will either be a major advantage or a heavy burden, depending on whether African governments can come up with a \u201cstrategy to reap the demographic dividend<\/p>\n

He said With over 40 percent of its working population between the ages of 15 and 24, Africa is the youngest continent in the world.<\/p>\n

He said Africa\u2019s economy is \u201con the edge of a breakthrough,\u201d but only if there are \u201csystematic investments\u201d in human capital similar to those made in Asian countries that have become economic success stories such as South Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia.<\/p>\n

Among other steps to \u201cinvest in empowerment education and employment\u201d of young people, Akufo-Addo said lawmakers in Ghana are working on legislation to make kindergarten through high school education compulsory. In order to help young women, Ghana is also working toward achieving gender parity in university enrolment, he said.<\/p>\n
