Two broad intersecting issues are addressed by this study. First, how to create decent and green jobs to meet the demand of a growing young population in the G5 Sahel countries through policies, programmes and investment. Second, how to shift from environmentally unsustainable economies to ""green"" economies as part of a rural green transition.
Populations in the G5 Sahel countries are growing rapidly. Given these large cohorts of young populations, over the next five years 11.4 million youth will turn 16 years old, and most will then start to seek jobs in the region. Although the countries are urbanizing, meaning that future economic growth may be faster in industry and services than in agriculture, in the short and medium run the bulk of new jobs are likely to be created in the agriculture sector and its supply chains. For the five countries of the G5 Sahel - Burkina Faso, Chad, Mauritania, Mali and Niger - this study aims to address the following questions: i) What employment can be created for youth, as agriculture and the agrifood value chains become environmentally sustainable as part of a rural green transition?; and ii) What policies, programmes and investment are needed to create these jobs and ensure that young women and men can access them?
