By the end of the century, almost half of the global population will be African. By 2035, Africa will have the largest and youngest workforce in the world. African youth have a unique opportunity to leverage this energy to drive prosperity and innovation in their communities and across the continent. Despite this potential, youth voices and perspectives are often absent in decision-making processes and policies affecting Africa’s development.
To bridge this gap, the UNDP and UNV are implementing the Faces of Africa campaign. This initiative leverages the power and potential of visual storytelling to:
• Document the aspirations, experiences, challenges, and solutions from African youth.
• Communicate accurate, nuanced, and contextualized narratives about Africa.
• Connect African youth to each other and to national and continental leadership.
• Cultivate a community of young African leaders.
