‘Les jeunes partent. Ils savent qu’au Sénégal pas tous les jeunes peuvent avoir du

travail. Même s’il y a la paix sociale, s’il n’y a pas de guerre, pas de jihad, les gens

veulent avoir un peu de fortune…Si l’Europe ne nous aide pas l’immigration ne

s’arrêtera pas’.

Comment aider? ‘C’est très simple. L’Europe au lieu d’investir en Asie, y construire

des usines, l’Europe peut construire des usines en Afrique et y faire travailler des

jeunes de nos régions, les jeunes ne seront plus candidats à

l’immigration’ http://content.omroep.nl/vpro/poms/world/84/02/91/64/NPO_bb.m4v

“Sans une industrie manufacturière aucun pays a su émerger de la pauvreté. L’Afrique possède tous les atouts pour s’industrialiser, en particulier son énorme, jeune classe moyenne instruite: Afrique 2035, même nombre d’universitaires, dans la force de l’âge, qu’en Chine”

Africa not only needs foreign direct investments and the associated transfers of industrial know-how and technology.

The vast majority of local African capital is looking for investments with a short term payback period – commerce and residential real estate - and is less inclined to invest in projects with a longer term payback period, i.e. infrastructures and industry.

Projects with a longer term payback period

Traditional ‘N/S’ ‘aid’ programmes

Superior Western ‘experts’ teach ‘the South’ ‘how to fish’; capacity building ‘traditional’ sectors: agriculture, health, …; grants for a limited number of students; …

vs. Enormous structural mutations on a ‘global scale’ Western economical ‘Winter’ (since 2008, middle class suffering)

globalisation of society; galloping technology; climate & energy crisis; how to feed 9 billion population? massive migration; terrorism; Brexit, Trump-isolationism, ‘post-truth’, …

well-educated African demographic dividend (25% world population)

Africa’s trump cards for an inclusive and sustainable industrialisation

1. Its demographic dividend (Sénégal: 56.000 bacheliers/an)

Africa 2035: the same educated middle-class in its ‘prime of life’ as in China (25% world population)

2. Eternally renewable energies 3. Feeding the world (9 billion population)

The SUN: decentralised hydro-solar electricity

energy & drinking water

To feed itself for the next half century, the world needs an

agricultural revolution in Africa

4. SME integration in global value chains 5. The Dubai ‘commercants’ (financial elite)

Young African professionals, women and men, who want to help to shape the future of home countries, are temporary employed in EU leading companies. They work at partner companies and gain insights into EU economic life and in

international cooperation. They establish valuable contacts and friendships and immerse themselves into

the EU society and culture. EU colleagues learn from them about African working methods and African

markets. As mediators between cultures, they open doors to EU and African companies. They are role models for their young compatriots. The fellows’ countries of origin can reap the benefits of new ideas and

targeted investments. They stand for the many self-assured, cosmopolitan Africans who are taking

their future into their own hands and cooperate beyond borders.
