The United Nations Office of the Special Adviser on Africa is hosting a launch event of ¡°Africa¡¯s Youth Voices¡±, a permanent network through which OSAA can ensure that the African youth¡¯s perspectives are embedded in its policy analysis, advisory and advocacy activities.
Under the theme of "Building Tomorrow's Leaders Today: Fostering Youth's Ownership for Africa's Future-Ready Leadership", this event will be held on 15 April 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (New York local time) and will take place in a hybrid format at the United Nations Headquarters in New York and online.
The establishment of this AYV network outlines OSAA¡¯s dedication to advancing Africa's interests and priorities on the global stage, in line with the calls of the Secretary-General to implement ¡°multilateral solutions for a better tomorrow¡± and his leadership in organizing the ¡°Summit of the Future.¡± Recognizing the immense potential and invaluable perspectives of young Africans in accelerating the continent¡¯s sustainable development towards the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the African Union¡¯s Agenda 2063, OSAA aims to establish AYV as a global network to provide young Africans with access to a multilateral stage, amplifying their voices and bringing their expertise and knowledge of the African context at the centre of international policymaking.
