Tackling youth unemployment in Africa and making data more accessible
There is a huge unemployment problem among the youth in Africa, and there is a massive data research gap for companies that want to invest or have invested in the continent. A company behind an app called Rwazi is now employing more than 50,000 young people in Africa to collect data on who is buying what, for how much, from where, when, and why. The aim is to help these companies drive revenue and expansion. Our studio expert, Wairimu Gitahi, reports from Nairobi.
