We are a devoted team of youthful African activists committed to building a peaceful, equitable and sustainable Africa. Through the African Youth Parliament, we seek to build on our past challenges and triumphs as a continent, with our sights firmly set in the future. The cumulative energies of the African youth in stirring positive action in their local communities and countries is a key ingredient in making the future of the continent prosperous.
