Our latest #AfUD22 report offers fresh insights into #Africa’s urban economies based on data from 4 million people and firms in 2,600 cities across 34 countries in Africa...👉 bit.ly/3sHNn0v

Cities significantly outperform their countries in almost all measurable socio-economic dimensions. About 30% of #Africa’s per capita GDP growth in the last 20 years has been due to #urbanization 👉bit.ly/3sHNn0v

#Urbanization drives economic performance in #Africa. The share of skilled jobs is nearly 2.5 times higher in cities than that in rural areas. Learn more in our #AfUD22 👉bit.ly/3sHNn0v

#Urban students have greater access to education. For instance, urban students, on average, spend more than eight and half years in school while their counterparts in #Africa’s rural areas attend school for a little over four and half years. learn more 👉bit.ly/3sHNn0v

#Urbanization improves access to financial services. Almost half of households in cities in #Africa have a bank account compared to only 17.4% in rural areas. Read the full report here: bit.ly/3sHNn0v

Our work strengthens member States’ capacity to design, implement & monitor policies for sustainable urbanization that drive inclusive economic growth & prosperity. We do this through research & capacity-building initiatives. Read more about our work: bit.ly/3DuvI1k
