Last week, young people from across Africa gathered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, for the Pan-African Youth Forum, under the theme of "Africa Unite for Youth: Bridging the gap and Reaching African Youth".

The Forum was also the launch of the 1 Million by 2021 Initiative which aims to catalyse action for youth development in Africa, through providing one million young Africans with opportunities in the areas of Education, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Engagement (4E’s).

Check out what some of the participants had to say!
