Youth News Connect (YNC) is an African platform that seeks to empower young people through celebrating their knowledge, experiences and skills while investing in their ideas, innovations and initiatives so that Africa makes progress in harnessing dividends.
Africa’s greatest resource is its young people and this abundant resource is yet to be untapped and due to limited access to education and finances, deterring health, scarce employment opportunities and low wages, and often excluded from local decision-making.
As a result, these challenges, individually and collectively, obstruct the young people from meaningfully contributing to the social, economic and political transformation of their nations and the African continent at large.
