Overview
What's Included
Format
AFC is built around a simple flow — convene, collaborate, commit. Across three days of programming, YANGG members and partners turn Pan-African energy into coordinated commitments that ripple back into every community we serve.
Delegates from across YANGG's 16 member nations gather in person and online to share the realities, ambitions, and innovations shaping their countries today.
Workshops, panels, and project showcases connect young leaders, mentors, and partners — turning shared aspirations into concrete plans aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.
Every delegate leaves AFC with a commitment: a project to lead, a partnership to forge, or a campaign to launch. Africa's future is built one commitment at a time.
16 nations. One generation. Action that outlives the closing ceremony.
Delegates leave AFC with sharpened leadership skills, a continent-wide peer network, and the confidence to lead through complexity.
Workshops, mentorship, and partner introductions help young Africans turn ideas into businesses and businesses into engines of impact.
Every delegate departs with a concrete project, partnership, or campaign that carries the energy of AFC into their home community.
Project · Launched 01 Mar 2024
A continent-wide initiative spotlighting and equipping young African women with the leadership, advocacy, and entrepreneurial tools to drive change in their communities — anchored in Pan-African solidarity and the Global Goals.
Get StartedAFC2024 is YANGG's flagship annual conference — a three-day Pan-African convening of young leaders, partners, and changemakers committed to building the Africa of tomorrow through dialogue, collaboration, and concrete action.
AFC is open to YANGG members, partner organizations, and invited guests from across the continent and the diaspora — anyone who shares our commitment to youth-led African transformation.
AFC is built, hosted, and led entirely by young Africans, anchored in the Sustainable Development Goals, and designed to produce concrete commitments rather than just conversations.
Keynotes from African thought leaders, workshops on leadership and entrepreneurship, project showcases from YANGG chapters, partnership opportunities, and cultural celebrations of African excellence.
Yes. Networking is at the heart of AFC — every session is designed to create meaningful connections between young Africans across our 16 member nations.
AFC is delivered as a hybrid event — in-person for delegates who can travel, with live-streamed sessions and online workshops for those joining remotely.
