Theme: Youth Empowerment through Capacity Building: Revitalizing Youth Voice and Agency towards the Africa We Want.

Date: 20th-24th November 2023

Africa’s largest youth leadership forum, YouLead Summit beckons us on the horizon! Since 2017, the YouLead Summit has been jointly annually convened by the East African Community (EAC), MS Training Centre for Development Cooperation (MSTCDC) and other partners in Arusha Tanzania through their youth engagement initiatives –the EAC Youth Ambassadors Platform and YouLead Africa – Africa Youth Leadership Program respectively. H.E. Dr. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, former President of Tanzania is YouLead Africa’s current Patron.

This year in Nairobi, Kenya,  by the choice of the young people, the annual climax event will bring together continental, regional and national policymakers together with youth leaders, private sector and NGO stakeholders with the aim of crafting homegrown, solution-based approaches to resolve the most pressing youth development issues. 

About the theme

Knowledge is the tool that can transform Africa into the global powerhouse of the future. Notwithstanding the fact that African countries have, over the past five years, made several strides forward in the areas of people-centered development, gender equality and youth empowerment, reduction in the number of conflicts, renewed economic growth and social indicators, sustaining these efforts has always been and remains a work in progress. 

Towards achieving these aspirations, the young generation should be equipped with diverse skill sets and knowledge that align and speak to shifting geopolitics, the evolution of commerce, the ongoing digital revolution, and increasingly important capacities like post-conflict reconstruction, climate justice, leadership development, and public policy advocacy. With this newly acquired or improved capacity, Africa’s young people will be able to marshal their individual and collective efforts toward a common development agenda. Their enhanced understanding of their roles as young people, women, communities,  and marginalized groups will hasten the crafting and delivery of Africa-led solutions, , towards the Africa We Want. 

The aftermath of the Summit will shepherd emerging development and investment opportunities in the areas of human capital development, entrepreneurship, public infrastructure, and policy alternatives.  All these are inspired by the African Union Agenda 2063 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

Under YouLead Africa’s popular programmatic pillars, exciting forums will be held through interactive and participatory approaches.

We invite organisations/companies to apply to come on board for the 2023 YouLead Summit.
