Women And Youth Economic Empowerment

According to agenda 2063, Africa's greatest growth challenge is creating quality jobs and decent work to absorb its population growth, in particular for youth and women. To fight against the scourge of joblessness and gender inequality, Coca‑Cola Africa believes it is critical to promote women and young people’s education and skills development. Africa’s massive youth population has the power to transform the continent for the better – if we invest in their potential.  

See what Coca‑Cola Africa is doing to accelerate Youth and Women Empowerment through various initiatives across Africa.
