Africa\u2019s economies demonstrate resilience against a range of challenges  \u2013 climate change, geopolitical tensions, rising inflation, food insecurity and rising debt. Even as they navigate such complexities, the economic outlook for the majority of countries across the continent in 2024 looks positive. The Economist Intelligence Unit forecasts that Africa will be the world\u2019s second-fastest growing major region in 2024, predicting positive growth stories for most states.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this report we explore some of the unique challenges and opportunities affecting the region. We consider factors impacting the rate of change and adoption of technologies in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) sector. We also ponder how, in a region facing a significant \u201cyouth bulge\u201d, capability and skills gaps which exist now, could be further widened in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This report is for policymakers, educational institutions, employers and training organisations. Drawing on industry exemplars, we offer practical solutions and suggest actions for players across the AEC ecosystem<\/p>\n\n\n\n
