The African Youth Consultative Forum on the United Nations (UN) Summit of the Future is a preparatory event aimed at galvanizing the participation of African youth in shaping the outcomes of the upcoming UN Summit of the Future.
Building on the African Youth Charter and the UN’s commitment to youth empowerment, this forum seeks to mobilize youth representatives from across African Member States to articulate their perspectives, priorities, and solutions for addressing global challenges and also inform the UN Future Summit, which seeks to rekindle multilateralism towards the accelerated implementation of the SDGs with focus on five key strategic areas that could be “game changers” in delivering on the SDGs by 2030. Given the principle of “two agendas, one framework” adopted in the implementation of the Agenda 2063 and Agenda 2030 by the AU and the UN, an integrated approach will be adopted by the forum simultaneously focusing on the two agendas. Overall, the African Youth Consultative Forum on UN Summit of the Future aims to foster dialogue and innovation among African youth, empowering them to lead the advancement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and subsequent Agenda 2063 shaping the future of their continent. Through meaningful engagement, capacity building, and advocacy, the forum will contribute to building a more inclusive, equitable, and prosperous.
