The Leading Africa Scholarship is a program created to guarantee that exceptional young Africans would be represented at the One Young World Summit in Belfast in 2023.
With more than 60% of its population under 25, Africa is home to the biggest group of young people in the whole planet. Given that 72% of its workforce is employed in “vulnerable” positions and that some nations are struggling with issues of governance and violent extremism, the Fourth Industrial Revolution may be able to save this youthful, energetic people. They have the power to drastically alter their areas’ politics, energy, infrastructure, health care, and other fields thanks to their enormous numbers.
In the face of these potential and difficulties, young leaders are developing significant plans to create a more sustainable region. Are you one of those leaders? If so, One Young World is looking to bring you to the next annual Summit.
