Overview
The AU Wise Youth Network is an official subsidiary mechanism of the African Union Panel of the Wise, established to strengthen the meaningful participation of young people in conflict prevention, mediation, and peacebuilding efforts across Africa. The Network contributes to the implementation of the African Union’s Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) by promoting the inclusion of youth voices in preventive diplomacy and fostering youth-led approaches to sustaining peace.
It serves as a strategic platform for identifying, capacitating, and connecting young peace actors to regional and continental decision-making processes. In alignment with the AU’s commitment to the Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) agenda and the African Union’s Continental Framework on Youth, Peace and Security, the AU Wise Youth Network seeks to institutionalize youth leadership in peace processes and ensure that young people are recognized as agents of positive change.
