Youth Empowerment Takes Center Stage at Regional Training 3 in Addis Ababa

On 25-29 June, with great honor and gratitude, together with UNA-Ethiopia we officially kick off Regional Training 3 in the vibrant city of Addis Ababa. This momentous program emboldens young individuals, enabling them to become powerful advocates for their nations on the global stage.

  • The African UN Youth Delegate and Representative Program AUNYD is not an official UN program. The UN Youth Delegate Program is driven and owned by UN Member States. Official Youth Delegates are always exclusively selected by UN Member States. The civil society youth representatives we select at the AUNYD have a better chance to become national UN Youth Delegates through our training and support

UN Youth Delegates and Representatives embrace the responsibility of integrating the outcomes of outreach campaigns into their national mandates, ensuring the resounding inclusion of youth voices and the earnest tackling of pressing issues. Their unwavering dedication and tireless efforts pave the way for a brighter future.

As preparations intensify for the highly anticipated UN General Assembly in New York, UN Youth Delegates and Representatives engage in meaningful discussions, mapping out potential achievements and identifying the key actors who will shape their success. With a keen focus on legal aspects, they navigate the complexities of implementing their mandates, particularly in combating youth unemployment and fostering meaningful youth participation.
Each day brings renewed commitment and progress. Carefully crafted schedules take shape, meticulously organizing pivotal events and conferences that will amplify the impact of their endeavors. Meanwhile, storytelling skills are honed under the guidance of experienced mentors, who share their wisdom gained from previous engagements at the UN General Assembly.

The delegation is humbled by the presence of esteemed guests, including distinguished individuals from influential organizations and institutions. Their valuable feedback inspires and guides the UN Youth Delegates and Representatives as they refine their mandates, aligning their visions with global perspectives.

UNA-Ethiopia's exceptional organization of Regional Training 3 deserves our deepest appreciation. Their dedication and hospitality have created an environment conducive to growth and collaboration. With hearts filled with gratitude, the UN Youth Delegates and Representatives eagerly prepare to embark on their journey to the UN General Assembly, ready to represent the voices of youth worldwide.
