i represent the land grammars are exploiting the amazon rain forest indigenous peoples or now recently opposing them. the heart of brazil in 45 minutes on d. w. as you go to uses with author will graham i there. welcome to the 77 percent assured are let's africa majority they youth talk about things that are important to us. i am michael o t. your host for today. so yes, what's coming up?

do you have the right opportunities to compete but a rest of the wealth that will be asked young people in several young in gunners? capital a cry. we meet a young innovator. tom clearly learned the bible revolution and in my city, we explore burn this economic capital. would you brock with? let's start off today's sure. with a talk around a continent to be successful at anything you need meant us. some one who has done it before and continue to rooks in a next story, i bring you a skitta magician and a tick tock when they tell us who inspires them. wow, i mean i really look up to a go, you know, if he had a group called pulling cello, i think it's because of their hydroxy puts towards getting

a lions and how she act and how she is able to evolve into different characters. that is amazing. and she has contributed into the person that i am today. i try to follow him by doing what she does concentrating way and being my my scripts and also researching on my carter before i cause sad or rather being evolving into my car. a referral to luther dane, i'm old griffin. busy go through the leg and like i did before, the do an m m m, i do show i gear world. so i think my time to study being c o e, they're not fully direct dial along with hers. what the latest, if you know you wholesale i am, i mean,

he's only the unique lassie small to do so. at the moment i'll say a mouthful, this is an american skate border. and i think o, i inspires me, is because he's regular skateboarding an array like his dowdy skates. i, he normally doing skates. he normally gets all the checks. and i like put that in to ask a body where like murder and get a check. i like, i'm not just quit on karen trying. i want to get the checks or ever credit will ever stop. try my trick. well, crossed to you nelson. i can't begin to attempt any of those tricks,

but it's great to see all of you guys do what you love. and hopefully more people get to live your best lives. because we are in a global world where you and i have to compete with young people are age in germany and china, but do you feel prepared to compete? that is what my colleague edward kamani asked young sewell unions in this we st. pete, yes. what he say, ah, hello and welcome to the 77 percent were here at the prince of wales school in free town, the capital of cyril yawn. and in this country, 8 out of every 10 people is under the age of 35. i had to look that number up again because it's unbelievable. 80 percent of the population are within the 77 percent. but the question we want to ask today is, is the government doing enough to not just empower this youth but also make them competitive globally? and i want to begin with harder because you've had the opportunity to not to study

abroad, but also have an enterprise here. so perhaps you can give me based on your experience . do you think that the youth in this country have been enabled or empowered enough to basically be part of the global community? well, as of a few months ago, there were only 3 disciplines in sierra leone when you go to high school. so there's the arts, the commercial and science. so i ended up in a science because every smart person is supposed to be a doctor. and most of the things were, were taught in school. we're not really practical, it was all theory. and i really struggle with this when i got a scholarship to study in norway in 2015 i to classes like chemistry and biology. and in all the experiments which were very practical, i was really struggling and my grades were not reflecting on the education system that i received in sierra leone. let me go to k is daniel, because we're talking about some of the limits that come about, particularly after graduating, say university. and i know finances was one of the key ones for you. is it normal,

or is it a normal occurrence for young people yet to stop their tertiary education because they simply no bus or is no school fees? i got malcolm in 2016. what the days russell bowed. finish only for me to follow my nutrition. so i decided to move with m santo wishes to young telecom nutrition as assist agent for me just to support medication. and i was working go 4 by 6, is that it was so put, oh, a drag no with. all right, so let me speak to dr. comma here for a 2nd because she is the director of research if i'm not mistaken, of for delivery and delivery and the ministry of finance. so it sounds to me like, you know, the government has a great initiative in place, which is free primary education rather free education for all. but then after that, what next? the thing is. yes. for years we've been focused on traditional education. that's the reality. but now we transition in unseen the awareness and how people approach

technical vocational training and the need find happiness and how he doesn't need to be just one second or you half in one calling to serve. you can serve in multiple ways. you can be a doctor and still be an entrepreneur, you can benefit up, you know, and, and advocates on how to end up plots for more crating, those systems in which of them are these, they thought that idea, no, they law been creates. that is just that we need to scale up and find ways to accelerate the creation of those spaces. all right. do you think that the quality of education, what is being taught the back here is enough. oh, is there one thing? i am personally not the free kind of person, and that's my personal opinion because you don't think education should be faithful, should be accessible and affordable for everyone. because when it's free right now, only to poor people can send your kids to like goldman school. i want to be involved in a sierra leone, where the local trader and the minister can send your kids to the same school because they can afford it. i was part of the for education system. when i was in

secondary school, my school fees were 60000 loans. i got it every, i was reimbursed me for 45000 loans. but my textbooks were up to a 1000000 and that my parents found hard to, you know, afoot, like daniel said he, he couldn't get to college. and honestly, it's sad because he was smart and he is still smart. but how many of daniels are out there? how many of daniels don't have this privilege to be on tv? let me come back to your doctor because we're hearing that there is a disconnect. i mean, surely, the policy that you're creating behind closed doors sound wonderful, but the implementation 0. so if you look back at houser, you and has developed over the years, you knew the growth has been in stop, stop, stop, stop. what is the thing is when you implement new policies, impact fix a while to shoot. so that's why we look at intermediate outcomes for now. like number of farmers benefits, a number of children in school, we know that the investments need to continue to need to be consistent. the need to

be owned by every put everybody we are now looking towards how we can not be left behind in the for, to direct industrial revolution. because we've talked about the 4th industrial revolution. i must come to this because it surprised me dramatically that electricity penetration in this country is just above 20 percent. how can we be talking about robotics and big data when people don't even have access to power? so that's the thing. and when we, if we try to perceive it in the lines of this comes before the author, that's where we missing the things that we can do together. and we can't do that in more efficient ways. let's as the person who's already doing it more, we're hearing here that it's possible to both be waiting for power supply and still innovate. is this true or is the doctor dreaming? as you said, ela and it's really of just above 20 percent access to an edgy. we have wind mills that we look at the fabricated. all we need is want to scale of the solutions, and it replicates a more communities. we develop hydro in 2035. you're going to have so much energy

from sola. and here we are like looking at countries like the u. s. in england. when we have to stop that, let's compete locally, instead of like, globally. and i think one step at a time what local solution. yeah, we can get there one step at a time. i like that and i think that's also a great place for us to end. at the beginning of this debate, i asked if the serial union use a set up to compete globally. and i think the answer we've had repeated over and over again is in good time. thank you for watching. thank. thanks it is for that debate. now ha, is are to buy raises a somewhat controversial point. should cyril unions focused on competing locally or us? some of you would say we live in a global world. and so we should compare ourselves to the rest of the world. and if you want to watch a longer version of this debate, go on to our youtube channel. and also on our facebook page, we asked many of you, if you feel you are ready to compete with a rest of the world. and yes,

what solomon younger who lives here in berlin says, are we absolutely not prepared in other parts of the world? they are devastated because they have no young population to keep their social systems running. but in africa, our leaders can't make use of the youth. that's food for thought. and paul, no one from more movie library, i says, west africa is still developing infrastructure i. installations and development will need every now across the continent. young people are ready to contribute, but often there isn't a what's in it for them. in this song, our resident rop akilah east talked about the lack of chances for many african youth. oh your there but needed was an opportunity. ah. yeah. i

think you've got what it takes to make the place a better place. we think good crops demanding for a credit plate, for heaven's sake, give us a chance to elevate, give us the space, and they help in hand to little bit unemployed without jobs, or they called us lazy and will be frustrated and histories. they put us crazy promise me, but a big re spend more than we own. so we always in depth. we worked hard to game. he had a pain in the spring and from hand to mouth goes every played the weekend. they drive hot cost, retake them all, jobs, loopy and hot jobs. life is hard on the payment on the rise of national crisis, and it makes me wonder why the system was like this long wait, as well in climbing the prices keep getting into government, don't care. they live in a slight case thinking to some employees, kato, now they wouldn't know why the streets a safer anymore, cuz there's more and more problems in re faces. they can take it no walk. so replacing the so really this one to leave it from the pool or we ever really needed

was just basic support. they have a c s, reagan to load the, you know, they don't know the feeling of seeing mama wake up at 4 that out for today. your and i have what needed was an opportunity. thanks kayla is for deb banging song. sometimes it's not enough to wait for the opportunity. you have to shake some tables, shut some glass sealants and snatch it. that is what a women be about to meet are doing. in gambia, many people still look a feeble mechanics with scorn. but that's not soft eda and for to my tough. they set up the, our own auto mechanic shop where the fixed cost walton in social norms on the head . in the center of sarah condo host, a very unique place, the only garage owned and run by women in the gambia federal mata jammy and father have joined forces to defy stereotypes and gain

a foothold in the auto industry. however, they 1st had to convince their loved one about their passion. my biggest challenge was the dealing with my mom to convince my mom that hey, it's ok. this is my passion. these what i believe in this is what i why do you do so forget about the stereotypes? look at them. i am a woman is a car that i have to make as in many other countries, men dominate the car industry. women are supposed to stick to traditional duties. for most this includes unpaid work in agriculture sector and they really own property. but after studying mechanical engineering to motto, opened her own garage. he met automotive pool. that is, that are going to use on the set is set to organize all the females that in this industry to the come together. we find it very difficult to be accept in the industry. and as i said, little was we'll have some sample that little as that is female,

got it apart from repairing and maintaining several cars per day for too much on teach young girls the basics of mechanics. the training program is designed to empower goals and reduce the gender gap in vocational education sign up, who has joined them. i said that they feel it's because i love it. they see what ma'am can room in carol lewis. and i said no, the fact. that's why i joined the screening to show them that what men can do a man can do it even more. despite the patriarchal mindset and can be in society, many people are starting to overcome prejudices and not hesitate to entrust their cause to the women. many of the kind of job would be assigned to man in sort of woman. so not does it does one of the reason not move me to come here because i was impressed. i was impressed when i hear that, you know, it was gone by ladies. notwithstanding the financial obstacles and gender

discrimination, but too much and have become an example of women's resilience by following their dreams and empowering their peers to fight for equal opportunities. that thing you should remember when you watch this story is that no job is tended. the only thing that he should consider is whether or not a person mom, a woman, can get the job done. unless i agree to do this, you know, a young person who is running a business. so let's make it a point to patronize them. said i begun all grew together for our next report. we had to our cra, ganesh, capital lawrence, a j bill's electric by extra east transportation. and at the time when full price is shooting to the roof, is innovation is 7 pockets and the environment in garner capital a cra getting from a t v can be a nightmare. it's normally hot in distances are far. and if you do drive or take

public transport, you stuck in traffic rush hour can triple travel times. so canadians are increasingly switching to 2 wheels. lawrence, a j is a pro cyclist and has been building his own e bikes for years. with a twist. what is 1st serve on my back his 1st or use our is accurate. del uncle badges. then secondly, our by law quality of offers. then we are very strong in light of room is very strong on that is times was i said are working on it by one of the young. i think it was like living here soon. and as of right in on this with his, in on there was a videos. so wanted to cruise for myself to and from then the nose la, progressing through me this erect by the 26 year old is self taught. he what is

really to do tauriel almost every day and tinkers with his iep like lauren's orders, the remaining part through the internet. meanwhile, de la russell mensa, sells a bikes from china. but those subtle performance issues of the battery that came with it. and shelley were in stud rubble yet, so when it came with the shut, this was you of pain. you had a little whole lot of complaints from customers for lawrence to it's not just about the joy of writing, but also traveling cheaply and quickly, especially as fuel prices rise. his e bikes can cover up to 130 kilometers for charge. i wanted to close the distance out with our goods, which is very far so i thought i needed a mortal my then as time went on, i told him all my situation and he said, we can do something else. so far,

lawrence has sold 7 of his e bikes, but he's looking to supercharge his iep. i dream a as someone who grew up in that cra, i know how much fumes people have to endure on their way to the office. and that's why i think that this innovation is going to make a big difference. and so i'll be keeping an eye on lawrence, and after whizzing around on the bike, it's time to cool down. and what better place to do that done in east africa? whether it's roland hills and beautiful sunsets, specifically let's go to pigeon poorer. the former capital city of bronte has habits fair share of political up evil. but peace asked finally returned. i am a local connect who's going to show us around what's up mackenzie.

the other reason why i like this market is because it connect you as well to neighbors from suzanne. yeah. and the congo business people from there and customers meet in this market. a dc is kiddie garden is a hotel and the rest of the rent with who
