Along with our African partners we are developing the building blocks of a new joint educational effort towards our common future. Education, vocational training and digitalization are essential components in many of the initiatives of Italy’s Mattei Plan for Africa. Our projects all share a specific focus on enhancing the potential of the young generations, thus creating opportunities for future economic growth. Fostering the human capital of the youngest lays the foundations of strong communities and the institutions of tomorrow. Italy is very pleased to partner with Nigeria in making sure that education represents a powerful driver of socio-economic and human development of Nations.
