Our latest #AfUD22 report offers fresh insights into #Africa’s urban economies based on data from 4 million people and firms in 2,600 cities across 34 countries in Africa...👉 https://t.co/0ItFGvo60s

[ECA @ECA_OFFICIAL]

Cities significantly outperform their countries in almost all measurable socio-economic dimensions. About 30% of #Africa’s per capita GDP growth in the last 20 years has been due to #urbanization

#Urbanization drives economic performance in #Africa. The share of skilled jobs is nearly 2.5 times higher in cities than that in rural areas. Learn more in our #AfUD22 👉https://t.co/E5NDNYSRFV

#Urban students have greater access to education. For instance, urban students, on average, spend more than eight and half years in school while their counterparts in #Africa’s rural areas attend school for a little over four and half years.
