Africa Rising Youth International Summit 2025

The Africa Rising Youth International Summit 2025 (ARYIS2025)
represents more than just a gathering it is a transformative
movement that positions Africa’s youth at the forefront of continental
economic transformation and sustainable development. With over
60% of Africa’s population under the age of 25, the continent stands
at a demographic crossroads that will define its future for
generations to come.
This summit directly responds to the African Union Assembly
Decision (Assembly/AU/Dec.601 (XXVI)) on Harnessing the
Demographic Dividend through Investments in Youth, providing a
pragmatic and strategic space for youth-led innovation, policy
advocacy, and investment partnerships. By aligning with the African
Union Agenda 2063 and the United Nations 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals, ARYIS 2025 creates a comprehensive
framework for youth empowerment that bridges aspirational vision
with actionable implementation.
