AYC members participated in the 2018 Regional Youth Consultations under the theme ‘Leveraging Youth Capacities for the fight against corruption in Africa’. in line with the AU theme of the Year: Winning the Fight Against Corruption: A sustainable path to Africa’s Transformation.

The Consultations were convened under the auspices of the African Governance Architecture (AGA) Youth Engagement Strategy (AGA-YES). They focuses on leveraging and reinforcing young people’s insights, capacities, and initiatives for preventing and fighting corruption in Africa.

In line with the principle and spirit of the AGA Platform, the 2018 Regional Youth Consultations were organised in close collaboration with the AU Advisory Board on Corruption as well as with civil society partners. In this vein, the consultations were held as follows:
