The project aims to deepen and extend understanding of the future of work challenges in West and Central Africa. The key objectives include the following:

• Provide information about the skills, laws, and institutions of the labour market necessary to support dependable and high-quality work, and the investments in skills development needed across the continent to facilitate a balanced transition.
• Explore how digital technologies, AI, and automation, can be used to improve working conditions in agriculture and other sectors of the economy.
• Uncover pathways through which social protection initiatives in countries across West and Central Africa can contribute to the adaptation and enhancement of the socio-economic status of marginalized and vulnerable groups.
