Recognizing the immense potential and invaluable perspectives of young Africans in accelerating the continent's sustainable development towards the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the African Union's Agenda 2063, OSAA aims to establish AYV as a global network to amplify the voices of young Africans, bring their expertise and knowledge of the African context to the centre of multilateralism and harness a youth-led movement to influence more equitable policymaking. This is in line with the calls of the Secretary-General to implement "multilateral solutions for a better tomorrow" and his leadership in organizing the "Summit of the Future."
