KAMPALA — The Afro-Arab Youth Council (AAYC) has called for reforms to the United Nations Security Council, greater representation of Africa and the Arab world in global decision-making, and increased investment in youth employment, education and entrepreneurship.

The council said the international system must be reformed to reflect the interests of developing countries and respond to the aspirations of young people, who continue to face unemployment, armed conflicts, economic inequalities and the effects of climate change.

The Afro-Arab Youth Council (AAYC) has engaged Makerere University Business School (MUBS) Guild leaders on strengthening youth participation, expanding student opportunities and exploring the establishment of an AAYC chapter at the university.

The engagement, held at MUBS in Nakawa, brought together AAYC Liaison and Partnerships Manager, Ms. Halima Nansubuga, AAYC Legal Liaison and Partnerships Officer, Ms. Jackie Kiconco, and representatives of the MUBS Guild led by Guild leader Isma Walakira.
