“…Furthermore, the youth are underemployed in non-economically viable activities, such as subsistence agriculture and artisanship. Although these are on the increase, the majority of the youth either earn no wages or receive only a pittance (Makumbi 2018). This situation plunges the country into a vicious cycle of poverty.…”

This book critically examines and analyses the active role played by youthled social movements in pushing for change and promoting peacebuilding in Africa, and their long-term impacts on society.Africa's history is characterised by youth movements. The continent's youth populations played pivotal roles in the campaign against colonialism and, ever since independence, Africa's youth have been at the centre of social mobilisation. Most recently, social media has contributed significantly to a further rise in youth-led social movements. However, the impact of youth voices is often marginalised by patriarchal and gerontocratic approaches to governance, denying them the place, voice, and recognition that they deserve. Drawing on empirical evidence from across the continent, this book analyses the drivers and long-term impacts of youth-led social movements on politics in African societies, especially in the area of peacebuilding. Additionally, the book draws attention to the innovative ways in which young people continue to seek to re-engineer social spaces and challenge contexts that deny them their voice, place, recognition, and identity. This book will be of interest to researchers across the fields of social movement studies, youth studies, peace and conflict studies, history, political sciences, social justice, and African studies.

Agropreneurship is a powerful tool for shaping today’s economic development. This article focuses on how governments, academics, and policymakers on agropreneurship programs can prepare both existing and potential agropreneurs to continue contributing to the economic growth and development of the country. This paper draws out the key findings of existing literature relating to the growing field of agropreneurship by critically and constructively reviewing literature that examines issues and perspectives on agropreneurship and the agricultural sector within the Nigeria context, especially with careful analysis of historical data and current data. The review is in line with the need to create sustainable development through agropreneurship initiatives: in an economy presently facing a high rate of unemployment, extreme poverty, poor earnings from foreign exchange, and insufficiency of food items, this article argues for the need to adopt an overarching agriculture value chain to ensure a rapid industrial and economic development across Nigeria. Therefore, an integrative framework for effective agropreneurship practice in Nigeria is proposed to build the capacity of the Nigerian agricultural system, which has a multiplier effect on both the socio-economic and industrial advancement of the country because of its multifunctional nature. Specific recommendations for the capacity of the Nigerian agricultural system through agropreneurship initiatives are offered.
