Vice President Juldeh Jalloh has emphasized the importance of investing in skills development and human capital to strengthen Africa’s labour markets and drive sustainable economic growth.

His remarks came during the 52nd Governing Council Meeting of the African Regional Labour Administration Centre (ARLAC), which brought together Labour and Employment Ministers and key stakeholders from across the continent.

In his opening address, Vice President Jalloh highlighted the need for African nations to remain adaptable amid a rapidly changing global economic landscape. He noted that as countries continue to face economic headwinds, governments must prioritize building resilient labour markets through targeted investments in skills training, competitiveness, and the expansion of productive sectors.

“These investments, with human capital development at their foundation, are critical to ensuring our people especially the youth can drive sustainable and inclusive economic growth,” Vice President Jalloh stated.
