In the 21st century, Africa finds itself amidst a profound demographic transition, witnessing a substantial increase in its youthful population. This demographic shift not only signifies a numerical change but also heralds an era of unprecedented opportunities for the continent's advancement towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Recognizing the pivotal role of Africa's youth in shaping the continent's future, the Office of the Special Advisor on Africa (OSAA) emphasizes the importance of leveraging this demographic dividend. Central to this approach is the African Youth Fact Sheet, which offers a comprehensive overview of the multifaceted challenges and experiences encountered by the continent's youth.

Covering a wide array of domains including demographics, education, employment, health, and culture, this resource serves as a vital tool for policymakers and stakeholders in making informed decisions to promote youth empowerment and sustainable development across Africa. As Africa's youth population continues to burgeon, tapping into their potential becomes imperative for driving inclusive growth, fostering innovation, and building resilient societies that can withstand future challenges.
