Youlead Africa

YouLead is Africa’s flagship Youth Leadership Program working to unlock youth leadership potential for a prosperous continent. The program was initiated in 2017 as YouLead Summit (www.youleadsummit.org) jointly hosted by MS Training Centre for Development Cooperation (MSTCDC) and the East African Community (EAC) in Arusha. Since 2019, for a more sustainable engagement with youth beyond a summit, YouLead Summit has become YouLead Program and now YouLead Africa (www.youlead.africa) - building a One Young Africa aimed at recognizing, connecting and fostering cooperation among Africa’s most vibrant and influential young leaders and their initiatives with YouLead Summit remaining YouLead’s annual climax event and is now Africa’s largest forum of young leaders, mentors, government officials and youth organizations representatives to craft responses to the continent’s rapidly growing youth population, their challenges and opportunities in the spirit of United Nations Agenda 2030 – “Leaving no one Behind”.
