Our goal is to promote a comprehensive and well-rounded education & research that reflects the unique needs, challenges, opportunities of Africa and economic realities.
We encourage youths to find solutions to the challenges of Africa's economic development, with a focus on solutions for African SMEs, which are largely dominated by women.
We prioritize empowering women and ensuring equal opportunities for all. We actively promote gender equality by providing women at a young age with equal participation opportunities.
We empower African youth by providing enhanced employability prospects and expanding opportunities through education, skills development, practical experience, and strategic partnerships.
We advocate for the formalization and growth of MSMEs to unlock their potential as a medium for job creation and sustainable economic development in Africa through value addition.
We promote Intra-African trade by advocating for the domestication of the AfCFTA agreement, economic integration, and creating opportunities for trade driven by Youths.
We are dedicated to empowering young people in Africa. Our leadership academy, workshops, seminars, and mentorship program provide them with the skills and knowledge they need to make impactful changes.
We provide hands-on experience to our members through paid research & internship opportunities and real-life policy debates & proposals that address issues related to Africa's economic development and growth.
We set up collaborations and knowledge-sharing among African youth, to exchange ideas, experiences, and best practices in economic development, through partnerships with regional and international organizations to leverage expertise and opportunities for African youth.
We encourage African youth to take interest in policy advocacy to promote favorable economic policies, regulatory reforms, and good governance practices that support inclusive and sustainable economic development in Africa to create an enabling environment for youth-led economic initiatives.
We provide access to financial resources and support through paid internship opportunities, research funding and prized economic competitions for youth-led initiatives, supporting their entrepreneurial ventures and economic empowerment.
We advocate for the adoption and implementation of gender-responsive economic policies in Africa to ensure that economic policies take into account the specific needs and challenges faced by women.
