Under its Youth Employment and Skills (YES) program, ACET has launched the Pan-African Coalition for Transformation (PACT) focusing on youth employment and skills development. Currently active in six countries, YES-PACT serves as a platform for high-level policymakers and stakeholders to exchange insights and strategies.
