Ambassadors of Africa for Africa Youth Initiative participate at United Nations Conference, marking International Youth Day 2019.
The Africa for Africa Youth Initiative (A4A), a unique youth platform birthed by the man of God, Reverend (Dr.) Chris Oyakhilome, gives young African leaders the voice to speak up and air their views, contributing meaningfully to nation-building.
As part of activities marking this year’s International Youth Day (IYD) commemoration, the United Nations organized a special conference to deliberate on ‘the Intersection between Education and Global Opportunities.’

The International Youth Day (IYD) was instituted by the United Nations and is celebrated annually by youth-based organisations and government agencies across the globe on August 12. It was designated with the intent to draw attention to a given set of cultural and legal issues surrounding youth. This year, the focus of the IYD is on transforming education.
