YouthConnekt Africa Summit Held in July The 2017 YouthConnekt Africa Summit was held from 19 th to 21 st July, 2017 in Kigali, Rwanda and was hosted by H.E. President Paul Kagame and organized in collaboration with UNDP and UNCTAD. Over 2500 delegates attended the inaugural Youth Connekt Africa summit to look into ways to realize the potential of the continent s youthful population. The meeting aimed to create networks among delegates from all over the continent. With Africa estimated to have the world s largest youth population, there have been concerns on the need to address issues such as skills development, entrepreneurship, access to finance and employment. The Summit aimed to ensure that the continent s youthful demographic becomes an advantage as opposed to a challenge.
5 YouthConnekt (continued) The delegates included top executives from multinational companies that operate in Africa, leaders of civil society organisations, Africa s development partners, members of the academia, successful entrepreneurs, artists and youth opinion leaders from across the continent. Special guests and panelists included H.E. Paul Kagame, President of the Republic of Rwanda, Jack Ma, Founder and Executive Chairman of Alibaba Group, Dr. Mukhisa Kituyi, Secretary-General of UNCTAD, African Development Bank chief Adesina Akinwumi, US singer and businessman Akon, former AfDB president Dr Donald Kaberuka, and billionaire Tonny Elumelu. ABOVE: H.E. President Paul Kagame addressing the meeting in a Panel discussion moderated by Kenyan Media personality, Ms. Julie Gichuru, while Mr. Jack Ma of Alibaba Group listens attentively. One of the highlights of the Summit was the official launch of the Youth Connekt Africa Hub and YouthConnekt Africa Empowerment Fund, both of which aimed at empowering African youth. The initiative seeks to create 10 million jobs by 2020 in emerging industries; 25 million opportunities (through training and enrolment in workplaces); and identify, nurture and grow one million leaders that provide solutions, participate in advocacy and become role models in their communities. The hub will also facilitate to nurture 5,000 digital ambassadors in each African country to collectively help connect and digitally empower at least 100 million Africans allowing skills to be transferred to local communities. The Fund will be supported by private sector, donors, national governments, foundations and civil society organisations. It is expected to offer regional support to youth empowerment initiatives such as grants, financing and training to youth-led projects, investment in creation of innovative and highly scalable start-ups, among others. The Summit s concept was born from an initiative launched in 2012 by the Government of Rwanda in collaboration with One UN Rwanda.
