Abstract: This paper explores the role of corporate governance innovations in promoting youth participation and job creation in agri-food systems in Africa. The paper examines corporate governance innovations that can enhance the involvement of young people in agriculture and agribusiness, and the development of sustainable food systems. The paper highlights the challenges that African youth face in accessing employment opportunities in the agri-food sector and identifies the need for innovative governance strategies to enhance youth participation. The paper identifies five key governance innovations that can contribute to enhancing youth participation and job creation, including public-private partnerships, community-based organizations, capacity-building programs, policy reforms, and technology adoption. The paper concludes that by adopting these innovations, African governments, youth in Africa and corporations can help to promote sustainable economic growth and reduce youth unemployment in the agri-food sector.
