It is essential that young people are valued, empowered, and afforded an opportunity to contribute in meaningful ways to create and lead innovative actions, programmes and initiatives across the continent of Africa, and their voices heard in diaspora.
The ideas, perspectives, skills, and strengths of African young people need to be integrated into the design and delivery of programs, strategies and policies.
The One Million by 2021 Initiative aims to facilitate youth focused forums, leadership and exchange programs to support African Young persons’ direct involvement with helping us to build The Africa We Want.
