Volunteers join in at the Youth Connekt Sahel Forum 2021

The Youth Connekt Sahel Forum convened in Dakar from 30 November to 3 December. This annual event connects youth from across the Sahel region and beyond with policy influencers, political leaders, and public, private and development sector institutions to engage, discuss, design and accelerate youth empowerment efforts in the region. Volunteers were among the co-facilitators, bringing their experience and expertise to the forum.

Under the theme Connecting Sahelian Youth for Peace and Prosperity, the Youth Connekt Sahel Forum attracted over 1,000 youth and other participants from across the region (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, The Gambia, Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal).
