Joint SADC PF-SAYoF Statement on International Youth Day 2023

Dear Colleagues/Partners,

It is with great pleasure that we release this inaugural joint statement to partners in view of celebrating the International Youth Day on this 12th August 2023.

This is to recognise that the youth of Africa is ready to embrace the emerging challenges and opportunities that the region has to offer. Yet, the youth need the conducive policy and legal environment necessary to grow and evolve into the best version of themselves.

No entanto, a juventude precisa de um ambiente político e jurídico favorável, necessário para o seu crescimento e sua transformação na melhor versão de si própria.
