The Pan-African Talks initiative is a thought-leadership platform where young Africans, scholars, policymakers, and activists come together to discuss Africa’s most pressing issues. As part of AWB’s mission to foster a borderless and self-reliant Africa, Pan-African Talks serves as a space for critical conversations on governance, economic development, cultural identity, and social transformation.

Through debates, panel discussions, and expert-led conversations, AWB ensures that youth perspectives are included in decision-making processes at both national and continental levels. The initiative also seeks to connect African intellectuals, encourage policy innovation, and challenge outdated systems that hinder Africa’s growth.

Key Focus Areas:
✅ Governance & Democracy – Exploring ways to enhance youth participation in African governance structures.
✅ Economic Growth & Entrepreneurship – Discussing strategies to boost intra-African trade, empower youth-led businesses, and create sustainable job opportunities.
✅ Cultural Renaissance & Identity – Promoting African languages, traditions, and indigenous knowledge systems.
✅ Social & Technological Advancement – Addressing how Africa can leverage technology, innovation, and digital transformation for progress.

Why It Matters?
By providing a space for intellectual discourse, Pan-African Talks ensures that young Africans engage in shaping Africa’s future. The discussions foster practical solutions, build networks, and push for policy changes that reflect the aspirations of Africa’s youth.
