Despite the recognition of the\nimportant role of youth in the delivery of green growth, and ultimately\nsustainable development, not enough has been done to enhance their ability to\ndrive this agenda. Not only are youth particularly affected by the global\ncrises such as climate change, but our societies currently fail to benefit fully\nfrom the creativity and dynamism inherent to youth. Green jobs resulting from\ngreen growth innovation by young people can be a steppingstone towards creating\nspace for youth contributions to societal change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To respond to this issue, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), commissioned a study to map and assess the capacity and levels of engagement of existing Pan African Youth Networks towards meaningful transformative actions to contribute towards green growth and sustainable development in Africa. This is expected to inform the key areas of focus towards building and strengthening capacity to drive the desired change towards sustainable development in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"For more download the Individual Organisational Capacity Assessment Report for AYC  (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/africanyouthcommission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/AYC-Organisational-Capacity-Assessment-Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">For more download the Individual Organisational Capacity Assessment Report for AYC <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/africanyouthcommission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Final-Report-Mapping-and-Assessment-of-PAYNS.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Download the Full Report - Mapping and Assessment of PAYNS (opens in a new tab)\">Download the Full Report &#8211; Mapping and Assessment of PAYNS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The African Youth Charter defines youth as \u201cevery person between the ages of 15 and 35 years\u201d (AU, 2006).
