HIGHLIGHT OF 2021 SUMMIT
OUR TARGET GOALS
The Young Global Leaders Network upholds the principles of the United Nations, African Union and the eight (8) Africa Regional Economic Communities (ECOWAS, AMU, CEN-SAD, COMESA, EAC, ECCAS, IGAD and SADC).
Transforming the Future of African Youth
WHY WE DO THIS
Across Africa, too many young people face unemployment, limited opportunities and little access to mentors or decision makers. The Young Global Leaders Network exists to change that story. We promote entrepreneurship, leadership and civic engagement so that young people, especially young women, can move from the margins into real positions of influence. Through practical programmes, networks and advocacy, we help young Africans create jobs, serve their communities and shape the future of their countries.
Youth Employment & Enterprise
Women’s Leadership & Voice
Active Citizenship & Accountability
WHY WE DO THIS
Young people are usually marginalised in the national political or leadership process because of their age, limited opportunities, lack of mentorship, and lack of experience and as such this network seeks to bridge the gap and help the youth to become responsible and innovative leaders.
We seek to be the world’s leading network that trains, mentors, provide a network platform and prepares young leaders for diplomacy, entrepreneurship, politics and the corporate world.

“It was my very first and exiting experience to be part of Young African Leaders Summit 2021 that was held in Accra Ghana November 2021. We just started a journalism platform that is spearheaded by young African journalists from the Global South, and this was a great platform to network and expand our territories. During the summit, we managed to interview Derrick Baah, a live painter from Ghana who fascinated the audience with his ‘magical’ paint of Nelson Mandela done within minutes. His interview in Ghana at the summit helped us gain more followers and exposure on our social media platforms. We are geared towards telling positive African stories that promote social change and there couldn’t have been a better place to find likeminded youth to help amplify our voices about the beauty of Africa and the talented young people. United we can!
The summit helped us to recruit even more young journalists who now contribute positive stories from their respective countries to our platform; Vice Versa Global! Looking forward to more productive summits.
The summit is so interesting that we want the organizers to increase the days of the summit’’.

“I was privileged to attend the YOUNG AFRICAN LEADERS SUMMIT 2021 held in Ghana. I was totally impressed by the possibility of gathering leaders from more than 28 African countries, a mini–African Union General Assembly. Pulling ideas from all these leaders formed a relay, in changing the African narrative. From that event when I look at myself and my company now, I don’t see just myself instead I see Africa, I see people with cultural diversity but still in great unity. If you asked me where I want to be in 2022 again, I will boldly tell you Young African Leaders Summit 2022 is the place”.

“YGLN is a stage set for young and aspiring leaders to mount and fly. At the last summit I attended in Accra, I was opportune to learn from other leaders from other countries. I got a lot of motivation from the strides other young African women are making and that gave me inspiration to do more and better. Networking was top notch and awesome. YGLN is a stage set for young leaders for Global Impact.
Life is a learning process. We all unlearn and relearn to get better. I believe YGLN will do even better in years to come”.
