Youth 360 Hackathon | Young Innovators Reimagine Financing For Development At FfD4 2025

Organised by The Youth Café and supported by the Africa-Europe Innovation Platform (AEIP), this high-energy event served as a unique convergence of youth-led organisations, development agencies, and innovation hubs. The hackathon exemplified AEIP’s mission to bridge continents by fostering Pan-African and European collaboration.

We Condemn Violence Against Young People In Nigeria

We are extremely concerned about the serious situation in Nigeria after authorities imposed a curfew in Lagos, Africa's largest city, in response to the protests in the country. The majority of these are young protesters. The curfew has been followed by an unjustifiable escalation, especially the incident at Lekki Tollgate where people in military uniform attacked protesters with sharp ammunition. According to internal reports, the shooting took place during a coordinated power outage.
