African Youth Lead Policy Paper
This paper draws on several months of national, regional, and continental youth consultations hosted by the African Union Office of the Youth Envoy (OYE) in collaboration with Africa CDC. These include the virtual youth consultations held from23rd March 2020 to 11 June 2020; as well as focus group consultations carried out by member networks of the African Youth Front.
