UNhörbar #24 - Africa in the World: African Perspectives on the United Nations System

Within the United Nations 193 states are represented. A
significant amount of those countries are located within the
African continent. The more it is interesting what African
countries think about this international framework. We have
invited Aya Chebbi, former African Union Youth
Envoy who gives us insights into different approaches
all over the African continent. We talk about youth initiatives,
exchange and solidarity within and outside the African Union and
brainstorm about the effective implementation of sustainable
methods to give underrepresented people a voice.


Content:


- 80 % of discussions within the United Nations Security Council
deal with Africa. Compared to this the influence African
countries have is relatively small. More talk with each other
than about each other should be implemented in near future


- Young leadership should be supported. Currently, the age gap
between the population and the leaders is significantly high
within African countries


- Future strategies and new instruments should be co-created with
African people, especially the young generation


- Possibilities and chances arise thanks to digitalization
approaches


- The world can learn a lot from Africa
