About the event:
As the global aid architecture shrinks, it has become obvious that governments in Africa and their citizens, must mobilize resources internally and from Diaspora for the transformation of their countries and the continent. Youth Bridge Foundation (YBF) believes that the youth should be at the center in all of this, not only as beneficiaries, but as a critical interest group. Mobilizing YOUTH presents a great opportunity for creating an effective platform for participation in the political economy, building resilience of young females, and addressing the root causes of many of the key challenges of gender inequality and rural-urban gaps. Inclusion to tap potential of female youth and address key empowerment challenges of rural female youth
in Africa is urgent. YBF will share experiences and dialogue for practical solutions. Issues to be addressed include:
1. Empowerment challenges of rural female youth
2. Effective ways to mobilize and harness the potentials of the African female youth.
