Pour que cela se produise, il est n\u00e9cessaire de transformer et de commercialiser le secteur. Cependant, la vision de la mani\u00e8re et du lieu o\u00f9 l'agriculture africaine se transformera, ainsi que de la situation probable des jeunes dans ce processus, n'est pas tr\u00e8s claire.\n

Participants \u00e0 l'atelier du Hub d'Afrique de l'Est.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\nC\u2019est pourquoi une \u00e9tude politique de deux ans consacr\u00e9e aux jeunes et \u00e0 la commercialisation de l\u2019agriculture a \u00e9t\u00e9 lanc\u00e9e afin d\u2019explorer ces questions et d\u2019essayer d\u2019y apporter un \u00e9clairage. Elle sera men\u00e9e dans trois pays \u2013 la Tanzanie, le Ghana et le Zimbabwe \u2013 et dirig\u00e9e par l\u2019Institut d\u2019\u00e9tudes du d\u00e9veloppement de l\u2019universit\u00e9 du Sussex, au Royaume-Uni, avec l\u2019IITA comme partenaire principal. Parmi les autres partenaires figurent l\u2019Institut de recherche statistique, sociale et \u00e9conomique de l\u2019universit\u00e9 du Ghana, ainsi que les universit\u00e9s du Zimbabwe, de Cambridge au Royaume-Uni et de Cape Coast au Ghana.\n\nL\u2019\u00e9tude a d\u00e9but\u00e9 par une r\u00e9union de planification qui s\u2019est tenue dans les locaux du p\u00f4le Afrique de l\u2019Est de l\u2019IITA \u00e0 Dar es Salaam, en Tanzanie, du 22 au 24 mai, et qui a rassembl\u00e9 tous les partenaires du projet afin de d\u00e9finir le cadre de recherche et les activit\u00e9s \u00e0 mener.\n\n\u201c L\u2019implication des jeunes dans l\u2019agriculture est tr\u00e8s importante pour l\u2019Afrique. Elle leur offre de formidables opportunit\u00e9s de cr\u00e9er des emplois pour eux-m\u00eames et pour d\u2019autres. Ils peuvent \u00e9galement jouer un r\u00f4le essentiel dans les efforts de modernisation du secteur, qui est domin\u00e9 par une population vieillissante. Les r\u00e9sultats de cette \u00e9tude serviront \u00e0 \u00e9clairer les gouvernements et les autres acteurs dans la conception de programmes destin\u00e9s aux jeunes dans le secteur agricole sur le continent \u201d, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Victor Manyong, directeur du p\u00f4le IITA-EA, qui pilote ces efforts pour le compte de l\u2019IITA.\n\n\u201c Ces r\u00e9sultats seront \u00e9galement tr\u00e8s importants pour le programme \u201dIITA Youth Agripreneurs\u2018 et pour \u2019ENABLE Youth\u201d, dont les objectifs sont d\u2019attirer les jeunes vers l\u2019agriculture. \u00bb\n\nLa plupart des recherches sur les jeunes et l\u2019agriculture en Afrique se sont concentr\u00e9es sur leurs attitudes \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard de l\u2019agriculture. Une attention relativement faible a \u00e9t\u00e9 accord\u00e9e aux jeunes qui exercent d\u00e9j\u00e0 ou tentent de s\u2019engager dans l\u2019agriculture ou dans des activit\u00e9s \u00e9conomiques associ\u00e9es \u00e0 la commercialisation agricole. \u00ab L\u2019\u00e9tude analysera les parcours suivis par ces jeunes\nafin de mieux comprendre les opportunit\u00e9s et les d\u00e9fis auxquels ils sont confront\u00e9s dans la commercialisation agricole, pour diff\u00e9rentes cultures et denr\u00e9es \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Jim Sumberg, chercheur \u00e0 l\u2019IDS et responsable de l\u2019\u00e9tude.\n\nCette \u00e9tude apportera un \u00e9clairage sur l\u2019engagement potentiel des jeunes dans l\u2019agriculture en Afrique et contribuera \u00e0 faire \u00e9voluer le contenu des politiques et des programmes relatifs \u00e0 cet engagement.\n\nElle est men\u00e9e dans le cadre du programme \u00ab Agricultural Policy Research in Africa \u00bb (APRA), un nouveau programme de recherche visant \u00e0 produire de nouvelles informations et perspectives sur les diff\u00e9rentes voies menant \u00e0 la commercialisation agricole en Afrique.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
