Three years and counting... I would like to acknowledge the trust that has been put in us as coaches of the African Youth and Governance Convergence to lead delegates, monitor discussions and for our learning. The results have been extremely motivating and excited about what the future holds.

I am so thankful for this mind blowing encounter organized by AYGC and the Youth Bridge Foundation. Grateful for all the wonderful people I have come to know and I am equally humbled by your great minds! As a development expert, I have gained new knowledge and ideas of how to contribute towards the success of Africa and trust me I will. Always remember that we are the unstoppable changers of Africa and the sky isn't the limit.

It was a great privilege to have attended AYGC2022 in Lusaka, Zambia. Meeting great minds (delegates) from various African nations, Canada and the USA. I had the opportunity of interacting with most of them and we had a wonderful experience sharing ideas and participating during the conference. It was a whole wrap from Networking and Convening to Team Bonding Exercise to Debate of Committee Motions (General Assembly) and a lot more. Certainly, the food was not left out. Thanks to Vesti Incorporated USA, their headline sponsor for sponsoring my participation.

I feel highly privileged to have been selected as one of the delegates representatives of Lusphone Africa, in particular my country Angola 🇦🇴 for the 2022 African Youth and Governace Convergence (AYGC) under the theme: "Harnessing Technology and Digital Innovation to Advance Africa's Youth Development Agenda." 6 amazing days of networking with brilliant and inspiring youth from Africa and the diaspora, leadership grooming, a cascade of mentorship, youth community impact and the best part "the General Assembly" where we as young people got the opportunity to interrogate state and continental policies, identify gaps in Africas youth development agenda and make proposals to the African Union (AU) member states, International development partners and to the private sector. As young people, being able to give our input in the world we live in is surely a feather in our cap. Therefore, I am so grateful to have been part of this mind opening experience.
