An Outcome Document reflecting the key recommendations of Banjul +10 was recently released.
I. INTRODUCTION
The commemoration of the Tenth anniversary of the African Youth Charter (AYC) was hosted by the government of the Islamic Republic of The Gambia from 21st to 25th May 2016 in Banjul under the high patronage of the President of The Gambia represented by the Vice President. Banjul+10 provided a high-level political platform for inter generational discourse and advocacy, stakeholder’s interaction, agenda setting and celebration of African youth initiatives. The meeting facilitated inclusive consultations that will set the baseline for assessing progress in the youth development targets of Africa’s growth and development paradigm beyond 2015. The outcomes of the event of Banjul+10 will feed into the second meeting of the African Union (AU) Specialized Technical Committee (STC) on Youth, Culture and Sports also serving as the platform towards the preparation of the roadmap for the 2017 ‘African Year for Harnessing Demographic Dividends for accelerated Youth Empowerment’.
