The African Youth Parliament (AYP) is a continent-wide network of young leaders, peace builders, and social activists from 54+ African countries working to promote and advocate for youthful solutions to Africa's developmental challenges. The parliament aims to give youth activists a forum and opportunity to present ideas and formulate individual and collective action strategies to address issues - from a continental perspective - such as HIV/AIDS, poverty, conflict, and democracy and governance. It does this by supporting skills development and capacity-building programmes, advocating for the rights of African youth and their communities, and supporting young people's grassroots initiatives to achieve social justice, sustainable development, and a culture of peace.
In order to leverage support for her action plans to the solutions for Africa - as part of its broader effort to advocate effectively - the AYP works with and participates in events and processes globally, regionally, and locally to mobilise the social and political will necessary to address issues raised in the AYP agenda. At these events and processes, AYP engages in constructive dialogue on issues confronting Africa, shares skills and experiences, and consolidates supportive networks across Africa. Such events and processes include the African Union, New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), the United Nations (UN), and various regional integration processes.
