The African Union Commission and the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD) invites applications for the African Good Practice Competition on Youth Skills Development and Employment in 2022.
The African Skills Portal for Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship (ASPYEE) is a continental knowledge platform hosting a wealth of good practices on Technical, Vocational Education and Training (TVET), skills development methodologies and approaches, and youth employment and entrepreneurship interventions.
This competition aims to increase good practices from all regions, with a focus on regions that are currently under-represented on ASPYEE. These include West, Central, and Northern Africa and conflict-ridden countries.
Worth of Award

An all-expenses paid study tour to South Africa, including all travel, accommodation, and meals!
The study tour programme consists of
- A meet-and-greet with senior officials of AUDA-NEPAD

- Field visits to South African trail-blazing organisations, government-led projects, and multi-stakeholder interventions
