Description

YSI will provide travel stipends for 5 members of the Africa Wroking Group to attend the Mo Ibrahim NGF.

The NGF is held ahead of the the Ibrahim Forum, providing a space for young people (under the age of 35) to convene and seek to gather youth perspectives on the themes being discussed at the Ibrahim Forum. The NGF takes the format of a free-flowing debate after which a representative from the group will bring the NGF perspectives and conclusions into the Ibrahim Forum panels on the following day. Over the course of the weekend, there will be networking opportunities and access to all Foundation events including side events such as Africa Report Debate. Additionally, an exclusive "Now Generation" media moment and reception will be held where participants will have direct access to the media, influencers and MIF Board members.
