Today marks the first day of the African Union Pre-Summit, hosted in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where young leaders from all over Africa will come together to develop concrete messages and a Plan of Action in preparation of the annual African Union Summit to be hosted this July, with the theme “Accelerate Youth Empowerment for Sustainable Development”. The Pre-African Union Summit will be held from April 1-9 where my colleague, International Year of Youth journalist, Abongwa Victor, will be keeping you updated with interviews from young leaders themselves on the progress that needs to be made to sustain development through youth leadership and empowerment in Africa. Abonwga will also be posting his own blogs to document the meeting from a youth perspective and advocate for sexual and reproductive health and rights.
We hope you stay tuned throughout the next 9 days of the meeting and we hope to hear from you on your own perspective of this Pre-Summit.
Now, check out an introduction video from International Year of Youth journalist, Abongwa Victor from Cameroon:
