A New Chapter for CAFOR: Expanding Our Global Reach for Africa’s Youth Content:

The future of Africa is in its youth, and at CAFOR, we’re doubling down on our commitment to empowering them.

We recently hosted a crucial meeting to formalize a new strategy for global engagement. We are thrilled to welcome three exceptional leaders to our team:

• Ambassador Hassan Gibril
• Professor Dr. Dinesh Sabnis
• Shabakie Fernandes

These leaders bring a wealth of experience in diplomacy, peacekeeping, cultural exchange, and youth empowerment. Their diverse backgrounds will be instrumental in expanding our reach, building new partnerships, and mobilizing resources to support our mission.

Our roadmap, which aligns with the African Union’s Agenda 2063, focuses on:

• Integration with AU Frameworks: Continuing to align with the Continental Education Strategy for Africa (CESA 2016–2025) and AU’s youth empowerment frameworks.
• Regional Representation Strategy: Planning a presence in key locations across Africa, including Rabat, Nairobi, Lilongwe or Gaborone, Abuja, and Brazzaville.
• Youth Engagement and Cultural Diplomacy: Expanding TVET, digital innovation, and arts/sports programming across all regions.

Our mission thrives on collaboration. By uniting with individuals and organizations who share our vision, we can amplify our collective impact and drive sustainable change. Join us in building a future where Africa’s youth can lead and innovate.
