The 3rd African Youth SDGs Summit
The 2030 Youth Alliance, Youth Advocates Ghana and its partners would like to announce that the next and 3rd African Youth SDGs Summit would take place in June 2020, in Accra, Ghana. This announcement follows series of engagements with the Summit Patrons and consultations held with various partners regarding the next stage of the African Youth SDGs Summit.
The African Youth SDGs Summit was launched in 2017 as the largest gathering space for dialogue, networking, learning and celebration of successes and participation of young people in the implementation of the UN Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and AU Agenda 2063.
As an improvement and follow up process from the first summit, the 2nd African Youth SDGs Summit took place in November 2018 in Accra, attracted 1400 delegates from across the globe who declared their readiness to partner with leaders to drive the implementation of the SDGs.
The 3rd African Youth SDGs Summit happening in June 2020 will coincide with the 5th anniversary of the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals and marks an important event on the calendar of many youth leaders, national governments, the UN Agencies, International and Local Civil Society Organizations and the academia. The 3rd summit is expected to attract about 1,500 participants from Africa and the world.
