\r\n About us <\/div>\r\n \t

\r\n \r\n \r\n The Pan African Youth Union was founded as the Pan African Youth Movement on 26th April 1962 in Guinea Conakry at the edging of Heads of States as a special purpose vehicle to mobilize young people towards the decolonization of Africa. \r\n \r\n <\/span>\r\n <\/h3>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The movement played a strategic role to mobilize political support towards the independence of African states. After 40 years, the Pan African Youth Movement went through a massive reform and restructuring between 2003 to 2006. African Union Executive Council Decision\u00a0EX.CL\/Dec.292(IX)<\/span><\/a> of 2006 endorsed the revitalization of the Pan African Youth Union as the Continental Youth Structure to coordinate the popularization and the appropriation of the African Youth Charter by all African Youth Organizations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

In 2009, after the first ordinary congress of the revitalized Pan African Youth Movement to the Pan African Youth Union, the Conference of African Youth Ministers met in Congo Brazzaville and further recognized the Pan-African Youth Union as the continental coordinating body for youth organizations and as the focal agency of the African Union on Youth matters. Which was further reaffirmed by the African Union Executive Council Decision EX.CL\/Dec.468(XIV).<\/a><\/p>

The Pan African Youth Union federates National Youth Councils and equivalent structures which are Article 12 institutions as prescribed by the African Youth Charter.<\/p>

The Union continues to serve as a reliable platform uniting youth and amplifying voices of Africa\u2019s young people on crucial issues of continental inclusion and meaningful systematic participation within the broader continental frameworks as per mandate.<\/p>

The heritage, history and rich experience of the union and active its participation in all the struggles waged on the continent towards the liberation and transformation of the continent towards a democratic and inclusive dispensation.<\/p>

The Pan African Youth Union as a continental coordinating institution not only federates National Youth Councils and equivalent structures across the African continent but rally youth led and youth centered CSOs and regional platforms from the Regional Economic Commissions.<\/p>

The PYU also works with the Ministries of Youth and other development partners in African countries.<\/p>

The Union strives to support and reinforce the values and ideals of the African Union (AU) in fostering Unity, Peace, Democracy, Sustainable Development and African Integration since 1962, then known as Pan African Youth Movement (PYM).<\/p>

The current Pan-African Youth Union (PYU) structure is the result of a deep and rigorous transformation and revitalization of the PYM with the core objective of adjusting to the evolving challenges that confront youth and those that cascaded from the post-colonial political scene and bearing in mind challenges of the future.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n

“Countrymen, the task ahead is great indeed, and heavy is the responsibility; and yet it is a noble and glorious challenge – a challenge which calls for the courage to dream, the courage to believe, the courage to dare, the courage to do, the courage to envision, the courage to fight, the courage to work, the courage to achieve – to achieve the highest excellencies and the fullest greatness of man.<\/em><\/span><\/p>

Dare we ask for more in life?”<\/em><\/span><\/p>
