The summit provided a networking platform for young people to harness their creativity and actively shape the trajectory of progress toward achieving the SDGs. The Summit empowered young minds across the continent to incubate innovative ideas and initiatives that hold the potential to contribute significantly to the localization and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within their respective countries. An evident gap was the limited participation of youth in the panelist’s section. The true potential of youth-led initiatives can be fully realized when all stakeholders are actively engaged. Ensuring the presence and participation of youth will enhance the effectiveness and impact of youth-driven development efforts as they speak their minds. As African youths, they carry a responsibility for the continent. Fortunate Nyika, RYC Champion, Zimbabwe
