The East African Economy is mainly dependent on agriculture and tourism
The above mentioned sectors get directly affected by climate change. IPCC has estimated up to 50% reduction in agriculture production
The above sectors offer the youth employment directly or indirectly
Effects on these 2 sectors lead to effects on other sectors like: education, health, water and sanitation and infrastructure that youth rely on.
