Whether on natural resource economics, the tangible impacts of climate change, efforts to combat disease, or to preserve democracy - these are all areas in which global engagement will be absolutely critical.

At IAYD, we advocate that investing in African youth is a collective imperative. With over 60% of the world's extreme poor in Sub-Saharan Africa, urgent action is needed. Global poverty is escalating, disproportionately affecting regions like South Asia and the Middle East/North Africa. African youth hold immense untapped potential. By investing together in education, skills training, and entrepreneurship, we can drive economic growth continent-wide. Let's fortify resilience against unemployment and inequality by investing jointly in job creation and workforce development. Together, we can empower youth to shape inclusive societies and secure a prosperous future for Africa. #InvestInAfricanYouth #InvestInAfricanYouth #EmpowermentForChange #AfricaRising #FutureLeaders #SustainableDevelopment #OpportunityForAll #EndPoverty
