Tell Me About Award: APRI seeks to recruit a consultant as Senior Research Fellow based in either Ghana or Nigeria. The successful candidate will spearhead a research project to understand the key actors, policy context, barriers, and enablers at the nexus of green technology and youth employment in three African countries. The project will analyse the youth’s roles in this space and tease out what inhibits or drives their contribution to innovation. It will offer recommendations for how policymakers, young innovators, and other stakeholders can leverage the technological innovations that already exist in the continent for job creation among the youth. APRI does not pay relocation fee/allowance.

APRI – Africa Policy Research Institute is a Berlin-based, independent, non-partisan policy institute researching key policy issues affecting the African continent.

The Economy & Society Program seeks to understand situations in African countries as they are – before looking for how to improve them.
