Hello World!
Welcome Everyone To Our Summit!
Thousands of African youth left the just concluded YouthConnekt Africa 2022 Summit (YCAS) in Kigali, Rwanda with their heads held high, after three-days of discussions and assurances from world leaders and experts on how they can lead Africa’s development efforts. The summit brought together over 10,000 youth delegates representing 98 countries from across Africa and beyond.
“Don’t believe the story that you’re the leaders of tomorrow. Be the leaders of today.”
The digital entrepreneur Sofonie Dala also had the privilege of attending the summit during these 3 fantastic days. She was eager to harness continental opportunities and actively contribute to Africa’s socio-economic transformation.
