Employment and Entrepreneurship: The EU Youth Sounding Board in Côte d'Ivoire Mobilizes 2000 Youth in Bouaké

The Opportunities Forum, organized by the Youth Sounding Board, gathered over 2,000 youth in Bouaké to discuss employability, entrepreneurship, and innovation. The event featured 13 thematic panels and 28 practical workshops, including sessions on job searching and skill development. A total of 31 million FCFA was awarded to 20 project holders, and the presence of content creators like Paul Yves Ettien generated significant interest. The Deputy Head of the EU Delegation praised this youth-led initiative.
