This Strategy has been developed by the SHS Sector in cooperation with the African Group at UNESCO and in consultation with UNESCO programme sectors, central services and field offices in Africa. It was finalized through a series of consultations with a number of partners and key stakeholders: Member States, the African Union Commission, the African Development Bank, regional economic communities and regional intergovernmental organizations, youth organizations, academia, the private sector and the United Nations system partners. The Strategy shares many common elements
with the draft 10-year AU Plan of Action for Youth Empowerment and
Development in Africa (2009-2018) and UNESCO will collaborate closely with
the African Union Commission for its implementation.
