Ahead of the two African Union Summits on Industrialization and Economic Diversification, and on the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), ONE Campaign, a global advocacy platform, is advocating for a series of urgent and bold policy actions to harness the potential of young people to build a better and prosperous Africa. 

Sankulleh Janko reports that the highly anticipated summits, taking place this week, in Niamey, Niger Republic, comes as Africa recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and grapples with the fallout from global economic and political events.
