Le Sénégalais Abdoulaye Ndiaye sacré meilleur jeune économiste africain
Our compatriot Abdoulaye Ndiaye has just won the prize for "best young African economist". Aged 37, he is the winner of the first edition of the Africa NextGen Economist Prize, organized by Jeune Afrique and The Africa Report, in partnership with the African Development Bank (AfDB).
Initially, there were 70 applications. But, at the end of the evaluation, the Jury chose the young Senegalese man who is an assistant professor at the Stern School of Business at New York University and affiliated with the Finance for Development Lab.
According to Jeune Afrique, Abdoulaye Ndiaye's work focuses in particular on social protection (with the central issue of formalizing employment), the mobilization of local resources, and the sustainability of sovereign debt, particularly in the case of Senegal, since the discovery of hidden debt.
“I hope that this prize will inspire younger people to turn to research, and to see it as a vocation worth dedicating a lifetime to. I invite my African economist colleagues to form a network, to work together on issues specific to our continent, and to conquer, at the table of intellectual influence and decision-making, the place that is rightfully ours,” Mr. Ndiaye told Jeune Afrique.
