To fully realise AI’s potential for job creation, Africa must build a coordinated, inclusive skilling ecosystem,…

According to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), climate variability has cost the country 3–5% of annual GDP through reduced yields, livestock losses, and food insecurity. Yet amid…
