Proposed Road Map for Hosting the 5th Africa Youth SDGs Summit Zambia 2023
The African Youth SDGs Summit 2023 edition will be the fifth in the series of summits to be held for the first time in the Southern Part of Africa, particularly in Lusaka, Zambia starting on the 14th of August to 18th August 2023 at the Kenneth Kaunda wing of Mulungushi international conference centre and this will be held both virtually and physically .The summits have become the African continent’s largest gathering of youth activists, champions, partners and supporters for the SDGs Agenda in Africa and beyond. The 2023 summit is positioned to be a rallying and booster point of success stories, impacts from the field of implementation, scientific research presentations, innovations, conversations around policy and implementation mechanisms, and partnerships at all levels for sustainable development of Africa through the lenses of the youth.

THE 2022 NATIONAL YOUTH INDABA
The predominance of the youth in Zambia’s population coupled with a growing labor force have resulted in high unemployment and economically excluded youths, which if left unchecked, may lead to increased youth vulnerability, political instability and governance challenges. The 2022 National Youth Indaba will therefore provide a platform for the young people to share ideas and be part of the next phase of the empowerment process. In addition, the business community and cooperating partners will be given the platform to share opportunities for young people. Finally, cooperating partners and other stakeholders will equally add their voices to youth participation in the economic development our country .
The Zambian Government through the Ministry of Youth, Sport and Arts in partnership with the United Nations Zambia and other stakeholders will be hosting the 2022 National Youth Indaba on 10th -11th of March , 2022.The event will consider the many challenges faced by the youth in the Country while acknowledging that the solutions to those problems are in the hands of the youth.
Objectives of the Indaba:
Some of the specific Objectives of the 2022 national Youth Indaba includes the following:
- Improving awareness and knowledge among the youth and youth leaders on key Polices documents on Youth matters;
- Providing a Platform for the youth to showcase and explore their aspirations as regards national development; and,
