It emphasizes the role of youth in driving inclusive growth, climate-smart solutions, and equitable societies, aligning with both the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the African Union’s Agenda 2063.

About International Youth Day

International Youth Day (IYD) is observed globally on 12 August each year, following its designation by the United Nations General Assembly in 1999. The day provides a platform to celebrate the contributions of young people to sustainable development, highlight both opportunities and challenges faced by youth across sectors, mobilize action to advance youth led solutions and policies.

Each year’s theme reflects pressing global priorities, encouraging countries to localize solutions and create enabling environments for youth leadership.
