The Leading Africa Scholarship is an initiative designed to ensure that outstanding young people from Africa are represented at the One Young World Summit 2023 in Belfast.
Africa is host to the largest population of young people in the world, with over 60% of its population under the age of 25. With 72% of its labor force in “vulnerable” employment and several countries experiencing challenges of governance and violent extremism, the Fourth Industrial Revolution could provide a lifeline to this young, eager population.
The One Young World Summit is an annual event that brings together outstanding young talents from various sectors worldwide, committed to driving social change. The summit draws delegates from over 190 countries, who receive valuable guidance from influential leaders in politics, business, and humanitarianism, including Justin Trudeau, Paul Polman, Meghan Markle, and many other notable global figures.
Given their sheer numbers, they can transform their regions, whether it be in governance, energy, infrastructure, medicine, and beyond.
