We are pleased to invite you to participate in an event launching Africa’s Youth Voices (AYV), a youth network coordinated by the United Nations Office of the Special Adviser on Africa (OSAA). 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 call 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.
For your reference, please find enclosed the concept note for the launch event. Kindly share this invitation widely within your network.
Please note OSAA is not able to provide financial assistance for attendance at this time due to financial constraints.
