4️⃣4️⃣ of the @_AfricanUnion's 5️⃣5️⃣ Member States have ratified the African Youth Charter. That means 11 AU Member States have yet to ratify one of the continent's key legal instruments on the rights and responsibilities of Africa's youth. Civil society organizations can help close that gap! 📌 If your country has not yet ratified the #AfricanYouthCharter, advocate for ratification. 📌 If your country has ratified, hold decision-makers accountable for implementing its commitments. The Charter is more than a declaration of intent. It's a roadmap for ensuring young Africans have a voice in #governance, access to #education, #employment, #health, #peace and #security, and opportunities to contribute to the continent's future. The goal is 55 ratifications, followed by meaningful implementation in every Member State. The real measure of progress is whether young people can see these commitments reflected in national laws, policies, budgets and programs. Is your organization working to advance #youth rights? What steps are you taking to support ratification and implementation of the African Youth Charter in your country? 📁: au.int/en/treaties/african-y… #CivilSociety #Agenda2063
