Applications call for African Union Democracy and Governance in Africa Youth Innovation Challenge

The African Union (AU), through the African Governance Architecture (AGA) Secretariat, in a joint project with the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) have launched the “Democracy and Governance in Africa – Youth Innovation Challenge”. Youth innovators, innovation hubs, and incubation centers across the continent can participate in the innovation challenge. The challenge calls for existing innovations that are making an impact in the structural prevention of conflict through addressing issues of democracy deficit, lack of good governance, and contribute to the promotion and protection of human rights.
