Doreen E. Noni, Creative Director of Eskado Bird, Tanzania, becomes the Tanzanian ambassador to World Economic Forum in Davos this year. She noted that young people in Africa are not trained from a young age to have entrepreneurial skills. Because of its huge young population, Africa’s workforce is set to burgeon by 2050. “We need to awaken our youth… and direct them to be entrepreneurial. We can only get our continent to have inclusive growth if we are educated and change our mindsets.”
