The African Youth Charter, adopted in 2006, established November 1 as “African Youth Day (AYD).” This day is a platform to amplify the voices of the youth and promote awareness, commitment, and investment in their future. It also aims to increase their participation, foster partnerships, and enhance intercultural exchanges among young people.

Agenda 2063, the African Union’s development blueprint, emphasizes the role of youth in achieving its aspirations. Aspiration 6 specifically underscores that Africa’s progress relies on its young population. With this in mind, His Excellency Musa Faki Mahamat, Chairperson of the African Union Commission, initiated the “One Million Next Level (1mNL)” project. This groundbreaking initiative intends to provide 300 million young Africans with opportunities in health, education, employment, entrepreneurship, and engagement.

The 1 Million Next Level initiative promotes youth development in Africa, focusing on knowledge-building, leadership roles, and human capital nurturing. The core principles include Pan-Africanism, strategic partnerships, and Africa-centric innovation driven by the continent’s youth.

Under the theme “1 Million Next Level is Knocking: Youth-led Movement that Transcends Borders,” the African Union Commission is commemorating African Youth Day 2023 throughout the month, celebrating the invaluable contributions of Africa’s youth. The activities aim to empower young people, create platforms for networking and idea sharing, and highlight their roles in building an integrated, prosperous, and peaceful Africa.

The month’s activities include recorded video messages, youth forums, profiling accomplished youth, skills and capacity development workshops, community service projects, and youth recognition and awards. Each of these activities serves as an opportunity to support Africa’s youth and enhance their personal and professional development.

African nations, UN agencies, development partners, youth-led organizations, and private enterprises are encouraged to participate in these celebrations by tailoring events that suit their resources and logistical capacities.
