The JICA Ogata Research Institute and AUDA-NEPAD Policy Bridge Tank Programme, will jointly host a webinar, with a focus on the development of industrial human resources (HRD).

The development of human resources that align with labor market demands is a crucial priority for many countries, particularly in Africa where addressing youth employment is high on the agenda. Japan has a wealth of experience in supporting industrial HRD in developing countries, which includes the capacity development of TVET institutions for industry linkages. In this context and based on the research at the JICA Ogata Research Institute, we would like to share two East Asian examples: (i) promoting industry engagement in Vietnam; and (ii) learning and localizing industrial technologies in Thailand.

Recognizing the critical need to generate productive employment opportunities for Africa’s burgeoning youth population, we cordially invite you to join our webinar discussion. We believe that the experiences from East Asia will provide valuable insights and contribute to the co-creation of practical knowledge for industrial development in Africa. Your
participation will undoubtedly enrich the conversation and we look forward to your valuable contributions.
