    Monrovia, Liberia – As youth throughout the world commemorate International Youth Day on August 12, 2024, African young are in a revolutionary age, according to African Union Chairperson’s young Envoy Madam Chido Mpemba, who is calling for a coordinated effort to harness youths’ potential as leaders and innovators.

    In her address Madam Mpemba stated, “As the Youth Envoy of the African Union Chairperson, I have observed the energy and fortitude of our youth, from protests to calls for improved governance, addressing climate change and a global digital era.”

    She claimed that the recent decision to institutionalize the Office of the Youth Envoy at presents is a substantial commitment to creating a permanent and ongoing system that integrates youth viewpoints into the highest levels of governance.

    Madam Mpemba stated that one of the impactful endeavors in the office of the youth envoy has been the Make Africa Digital (M.A.D) Campaign.

    Speaking on the theme “Empowering Africa’s Youth: A Commitment to Our Future,” she stated that encouraging digital literacy among young people in Africa, as well as increased engagement in democratic processes and climate action, are essential steps toward promoting the continent’s sustainable development and economic growth.

    In collaboration with governments, Afreximbank, and Google, the policy advocacy program has given almost 4,000 young people the digital literacy and skills they will need for the workforce of the future, according to the African Union Chairperson’s Youth Envoy.

    In order to promote a generation of digitally literate people who can stimulate economic growth, drive innovation, and address urgent issues in a world that is becoming more and more digital, she stated that a multi-stakeholder approach is crucial.

    Madam Mpemba maintained that youth involvement is crucial in democratic governance, revealing that in a year when several African nations were holding elections, the AU raised youth participation in election observations by 45%.

    “This is a step towards enhancing transparency and accountability in our electoral processes. Young observers bring fresh perspectives and a commitment to integrity, vital for strengthening our democracies.”

    According to the AU Youth Chairperson, youth participation also instills a profound respect for democratic values in young people, preparing them for leadership roles in the future.

    She clarified that the African Union Youth Reference Committee’s initiatives led by Nigeria’s recent decision to accept a 30 percent quote for women and youth in federal appointments, highlighted the important influence of youth advocacy activities.

    Young leaders will be empowered by this, and their fresh perspectives and enthusiasm will improve government. It serves as a model for other nations, highlighting the vital role youth play in governance, according to Madam Mpemba.

    There has been an upsurge in the number of young people becoming cabinet ministers and members of parliament throughout Africa, according to the AU Youth Chairperson.

    She however note that greater representation of women from marginalized areas and youth with disabilities is necessary for equity and inclusion.

    Madam Mpemba continued that Africa need to demonstrate its leadership in combating climate change in addition to digital innovation and democratic engagement. She noted that even though the continent contributes the least to global emissions, she maintained that it is nevertheless severely impacted by the phenomenon. The difference, she pointed out, emphasizes how crucial our voice is in global climate talks and measures.
