Full Speech By The Youth Cafe Representative At The African-European Parliamentary Initiative Covid-19 Conference | The Youth Cafe
Young people are a tremendous and essential asset worth investing in, which is why it is very important not to overlook the influence of the youth during a global crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In Africa alone, young people number 845 million: at The Youth Cafe, we believe that this gives the world 845 million reasons to work with them. In increasing numbers, young people in Africa are proactively combating the spread of the virus and working to mitigate and address the pandemic’s impacts.
