Africa commemorates the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) established on May 25th 1963 – now known as the African Union. The AU theme for 2022 is “Strengthening Resilience in Nutrition and Food Security on the African Continent: Strengthening Agro-Food Systems, Health and Social Protection Systems for the Acceleration of Human, Social and Economic Capital Development.”

African women are an integral part of the solution, especially as glass ceilings are shattered and gender barriers are broken. They are poised to play a greater role in driving sustainable agricultural practices, in development, and in achieving the African Union’s vision of Agenda 2063.

Similarly, African youth – who now number over 400 million – have a crucial role to play in driving innovation and preparing for tomorrow’s challenges, while taking part in decision-making today.
