Skilling with out exposure cannot yield much and indeed, most skills are often forgotten for lack of practice. At AAFL, we believe in the creativity, intelligence and hard-working character of the African youth. The biggest challenge the youths face is lack of exposure to the opportunities available.

Thus we deal with this issue by providing a platform through seminars, dialogues, peer discussions on the current challenges as clearly stipulated by the UN sustainable development goals, African Union Agenda 2063 and respective country national development plans. Key to this is to help youths identify priority areas to match their education, career and business decisions. The opportunities are in the challenges.

This is what makes it critical for us at AAFL to partner with the institutions accountable for such programs like the UN, AU and Government and related civil society organizations. The youths are eager to be apart of the solution not just the problem.
