Deadline: January 21, 2013

The International Youth Council-Kenya is recruiting up to 200 people from Africa to participate in the first Annual Africa Youth Assembly. Their goal is to ensure that at least two young people from every African country are represented at this event, all with direct experience in youth-led development, so their valuable perspectives and realities provide a new paradigm for Africa’s development.

This is an excellent opportunity for a young person (aged 18 – 35), coming from one of the 54 official countries within Africa, with an interest in youth-led development and experience of working in this area, to develop their skills and experience in discussion and debate. Youth participants will have a unique opportunity to provide their own perspectives on the discussion and offer their experiences of significant and serious contributions that young people can make in Africa’s development.
Timing and dates

The First Africa Youth Assembly is hosted by The International Youth Council-Kenya and partners from the 26th – 28th February, 2013. Please note these dates may be subject to some changes.
