In the lead-up to the event, Global Citizen is using the platform to advocate for urgent action on critical issues across the continent. Campaigns focus on increased funding for health, particularly for women, girls, and community health workers; addressing the climate crisis and its impact on food security; promoting economic opportunities for future generations; and encouraging civic participation.
Liz Agbor-Tabi, Vice President, Policy and Advocacy at Global Citizen, emphasized the significance of Move Afrika, stating: “Through the Move Afrika campaign and this unique event series, we aim to unlock new opportunities for young people across the Continent. Investing in and supporting entrepreneurs, community health workers, and smallholder farmers on the frontlines of climate change isn’t just a moral imperative it’s a path towards healthier communities, a more equitable future for Africa, and the eradication of extreme poverty.”
