Here are the key goals of the Afro Arab Youth Council
for young people in AAYC Member States
in the African and Arab Regions
AAYC is an International Organization that unites young people from Africa and the Arab world, aiming to address shared challenges by leveraging on existing connections and similarities. It was established in 2004 in Khartoum, Sudan, following the inaugural Youth Festivals that brought together over 3000 youth from participating countries.
The recent visit of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to Uganda marked a significant milestone for Afro-Arab relations and for the Afro-Arab Youth Council’s mission of youth-led unity and development.
President Sisi arrived in Uganda on Wednesday as part of the swearing-in week, offering support to his colleague and AAYC patron, President Yoweri Museveni. The visit underscored the trust and solidarity between the two leaders and the two nations.
Our Secretary General, Hon. Dr. Abbas Agaba led the discussion that was mainly focused on advancing youth empowerment across the Afro-Arab region.
The main agenda was to establish a collaboration between AAYC and Global Youth Empowerment, especially in creating impactful and lasting youth-centered initiatives.
Mr. Versura already has an ongoing engagement with the Ministry of Youth Affairs in Syria, a member country of AAYC. He also brings on board his expertise from having previously worked in the Italian parliament and civil society.
AAYC works to ensure that its programs are high quality, effective and efficient in nature
We work respectfully in collaboration with African and Arab Governments, communities, donors, bringing together the unique resources of all to achieve common objectives
We seek to understand the views and ideas of others, as well as to recognize the positive contributions of each person
