The report aims to create transparency around current data on Youth in Africa; provide a set of recommendations to contribute to dialogue and debate and call stakeholders to action to address the challenges facing African Youths.

African Youths!

Speaking about their own challenges and solutions

Leading their own intervention in CPD

and 

Sharing their own personal expert opinions on the State of African Youth.

African Youths have been sidelined and marginalised throughout the CPD process, with very little representation throughout, due to a number of reasons. This report and panel hope to change that by providing important decision makers in New York with an opportunity to speak directly with those affected by the issues.
