About the Corridor
India-Africa Human Capacity Corridor
The India-Africa Human Capacity Corridor is a bilateral platform designed to bring catalytic effect to India-Africa economic and investment initiatives. It connects entrepreneurial ecosystems and co-creates the talent infrastructure both regions need for long-term growth in Education, Skilling, Employability and Entrepreneurship, in this era of rapid technological advancements, particularly in artificial intelligence, that are transforming economies and governance.
Assessments › Education › Skills › Employability › Mobility
The African Union's Agenda 2063 places education and skills transformation at the heart of its long-run development strategy, calling explicitly for a Skills Revolution underpinned by Science, Technology and Innovation. UNESCO's continental education strategy (CESA 16-25) reinforces this by linking skills development directly to SDG4 priorities.
More than 60 percent of Africa's population is below age 25, making education-to-work pathways decisive for growth and stability. Capacity building must be outcomes-oriented and measurement-driven, not seat-time driven. This is the premise of the Corridor.
From Cape Town to Harare
As part of the Zimbabwe India-Africa Tech & Entrepreneurship Summit, we are doing IAHCC Workshop to continue what we started in Cape Town.

Workshop Format · Design Thinking
Five pathways. Five panels. One corridor.
We have identified 5 pathways at the Cape-Town launch of India Africa Human Capacity Corridor and have started working on these pathways across the India and Africa, with all stake holders actively participating.
The design thinking workshop will be structured around these five pathways. Each of the pathway will have a panel with relevant stakeholders as described under each pathway. The participating stakeholders will be assigned to each of the pathway panel, based on their profile, interests and the value they can bring to the panel discussion.
