ENERGIZE AFRICA is one of several practical initiatives that AUDA-NEPAD is leading to translate into action as per the Youth Charter proclamation “that the youth are partners, assets and a prerequisite for sustainable development and for the peace and prosperity of Africa with a unique contribution to make to the present and future development”.  Africa owning its present and future requires a high degree of imagination and innovation that will only come from its youth. For this reason, AUDA-NEPAD has designed Energize Africa to fast-track capacity mobilisation for programme delivery and transformation on the Continent.
