On December 2-3, the United Nations will host a seminar in Sierra Leone on “Strategies and Lessons Learned on Sustainable Reintegration and Job Creation: What Works in West Africa?” It will bring together government, civil society, and private sector representatives from Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Its aim is to target an important segment of the labor force, young people who have not received adequate education and training due to various external and internal factors. In these countries, youth unemployment is staggering. With fragile economic structures, young people are very vulnerable to political manipulations. This represents a threat to peace and stability.
