The African Union's Women, Gender, and Youth Directorate partnered with various organizations to host a dynamic Youth Pavilion at the margins of the 13th African Games in Accra, Ghana. This initiative aligns with Agenda 2063's vision of an Africa driven by its youth.
Recognizing Africa's young population , the pavilion aimed to empower them. Over 500 participants engaged in capacity-building sessions equipping them with essential 21st century skills, fostered connections through mentorship and networking opportunities, and engaged in meaningful dialogue with industry leaders on issues like migration, housing, and climate change.
In her remarks, Ms. Prudence Nonkululeko Ngwenya, WGYD's Director stated that"Aspiration 6 of Agenda 2063 affirms that the Africa We Want is"an Africa, whose development is people-driven, relying on the potential of African people, especially its women and youth, and caring for children". However, for our continent to fully harness Africa's youth's full potential, we need to ensure that they are meaningfully engaged and equipped with the skills they need to thrive.
Building upon successful initiatives at the 3rd Intra-African Trade Fair and the Youth Connekt Africa Summit 2023, this Youth Pavilion was a vital space for young Africans to develop skills, collaborate, and access mentorship, ultimately accelerating their development and contributing to a brighter African future.).
