The 3rd African Youth SDGs Summit will take place in June 2020, in Accra, Ghana.
The 2030 Youth Alliance, Youth Advocates Ghana and its partners would like to announce that the next and 3rd African Youth SDGs Summit would take place in June 2020, in Accra, Ghana.
This is after a series of engagements with the Summit Patrons and consultations held with various partners regarding the next stage of the African Youth SDGs Summit.
The African Youth SDGs Summit was launched in 2017 as the largest gathering space for dialogue, networking, learning and celebration of successes and participation of young people in the implementation of the UN Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and AU Agenda 2063.
The 2nd African Youth SDGs Summit took place in November 2018 in Accra, and attracted 1400 delegates from across the globe who declared their readiness to partner with leaders to drive the implementation of the SDGs.
Building upon past successes and the growing commitment by stakeholders to strengthen the summit, the organizers have agreed to host the next summit in 2020 in Accra for the following reason to among other things “allow the organizers to reflect on and document the journey so far and review existing structures, resources and policies to improve upon the summit and its programs.”
Preceding the summit there will be multi-stakeholder consultative meeting to solicit views, contributions and inputs from partners and stakeholders in further development of key policy documents on the summit.
This is in addition to National Youth SDGs Policy Roundtables scheduled to take place at country level across Africa and Regional Youth CSOs Capacity Building Workshops to improve the knowledge of youth leaders on the SDGs and its accountability processes.
