Speaking at the 42nd session of the AUDA-NEPAD Steering Committee, Faye stressed the need to align education and skills development with emerging technologies, particularly in digitalization and artificial intelligence.
“The future of the continent depends on well-trained youth: we must adapt our training offer to technological mutations, digitalization, and artificial intelligence,” Faye stated.
He also underscored the importance of self-reliance in Africa’s development, urging nations to prioritize homegrown solutions and regional cooperation over external dependencies.
The AUDA-NEPAD Steering Committee serves as a key platform for shaping policies that drive Africa’s economic and social transformation, with leaders like Faye advocating for sustainable, innovation-driven growth.
