[Poll] Can African Youths Deliver?
August 21, 2006 - 01:38 PM

The African Union Ministers of Youth holding their first session in Addis Ababa (28 May 2006) adopted the African Youth Charter and subsequently ratified by Heads of state at the AU Summit in Banjul, the Gambia (July 2006).

The adopted African Youth Charter highlights: Youth responsibilities and participation in its implementation; Education and skills development; Poverty eradication; Sustainable livelihoods and Youth employment; Health including SRH/HIV/AIDS and prevention of drugs and substance abuse; Peace and security; Youth and culture, Elimination of discrimination against girls and young women and Harmful traditional practices.

Africa Division of the United Nations Population Fund and the AU Liaison office supported the African Union Commission to undertake situational analysis of the status of youth in Africa, review institutional arrangements to facilitate integration, and develop the draft Africa Youth Charter through AU Youth, Experts and Ministerial meeting(s).

Where do we go from here?

Cheers,
Theophilus

I believe that African youth have greate potential to deliver anything that is thrown unto them.The question is, "Will they get the necessary support?I may not be a member of the groupf of those who went to the meeting.But I strongly believe that with formidable support from our leaders, we are capable of doing anything.Remember that even a child comes from just a slugish little inocent being to a world class marathon champion but only through thorough coaching from those closser to it.big grinbig grinbig grin
