The European Youth Forum have submitted a contribution focusing on the situation of youth, and the importance of including youth in the formulation of the strategy.
- “YFJ expects that the upcoming joint EU Africa Strategy should give specific attention to the need of taking young people into account as well as provide concrete commitments on how to strengthen the cooperation between the African and European youth movement. [...]
- [T]he European Youth Forum is hoping that a joint EU Africa Strategy will reflect the understanding both the EU and AU has shown in its regional policies concerning the importance of young people. Moreover, YFJ believes that not only will the issues concerning youth be put on the table – young people should also be invited to sit around it in order to influence and be involved in the decisions concerning their own future!”
