What is the African Governance Report (AGR) 2027 all about? Under the theme “Youth in Governance: From Promise to Prosperity,” the fifth edition of the AGR will take a closer look at how young people are included in governance and decision-making across African Union Member States. The report aims to assess the implementation of youth policies, identify institutional, financial and political barriers holding young people back, and highlight youth-led innovations and contributions to governance. The goal is to provide practical recommendations that strengthen youth participation and help Africa harness the potential of its young population in line with Agenda 2063. Through Country Institutional Consultations, including the ongoing engagements in Rwanda, the APRM is gathering experiences and insights from national stakeholders to inform the report. #APRM #AGR2027 #YouthInGovernance #Agenda2063
