This mini webinar series is dedicated to the theme of Financing Africa and is composed of three sessions:
- Assessing Africa’s sustainable development needs.
- Evaluate the resources the continent receives from partners.
- Exploring how Africa can leverage its own wealth to bridge its financial gap.
Based on key findings from the 2024 NGN survey of over a hundred African young experts on Africa’s financing agenda, the webinar will serve as a platform to discuss youth perspectives and recommendations.
