The Summit is the first of its kind to bring together the continent’s youth in Addis Ababa with the aim of creating a platform for Africa’s future leaders to share their experiences.
The event brings together youth from African countries to reflect on how policy makers and youth organizations can contribute to addressing the challenges that African youth continue to face in their efforts to achieve a united, peaceful and prosperous Africa.
The Summit aims to provide an opportunity for youth to share their experiences and best practices so that the African continent can use this untapped potential by improving the quality of life of young people, building their capacities and skills for the benefit of their respective countries.
Opening this first Summit, Ethiopian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Demeke Mekonnen, highlighted the strong potential of African youth to determine the future of the continent.
Mekonnen noted that the objective of the African Youth Summit is to utilize this great potential through unity in addition to introducing the concept and philosophy of Pan-Africanism to the new generation of Africa and strengthening solidarity.
