Asye Summit & AYE Youth Network

Who we are

ASYE SUMMIT.

"Using What We Have To Get What We Need"

The African Youth Charter adopted on 2nd/July/2006 in Article 26A of the African Youth Chatter charges youth to be owners of their own development. This means we are the main drivers of how best we can tackle the problems faced and consider sustainable solutions to Building a Shared Future for Africa.

Africa Summit on Youth Employment– ASYE Summit was inspired into action as a long lasting initiative contributing and supporting the African Union Commission initiative called “One Million by 2021” which was launched in April 2019 to catalyze action for youth development in Africa. The summit fulfils and contributes to the Agenda 2063 under Goal No.1 of A high standards of living, quality of life and well-being for all citizens, for the Priority Area of Income, jobs and descent work and Goal No.2 of well educated citizens and skills revolution underpinned by science, technology and innovation, for the Priority Area of Education and science, technology and innovation (STI) driven skills revolution. These contribute to the UN SDG goals for the #TheAfricaWeWant.
