The African Youth Networks Movement (AYNM) is inviting leads/coordinators/presidents/chairpersons of Anglophone West African youth-interventions /networks in a conversation to address the impact of COVID-19 and way forward for youth as architects of recovery.
The virtual session will focus on:
- the impact of the pandemic on youth incl. livelihoods, public health etc
- the work of youth interventions/organisations/networks in response to the COVID-19
- how young people will position themselves in the discourse centred on planning and shaping the post-COVID future
