Youth therefore bring a diverse, and on -the ground realities on the pandemic impacts on learning outcomes, and possible solutions to recover learning losses.

Recognizing the power, necessity, and opportunity to integrate youth voices in the dialogue and solution; the African Union CIEFFA is hosting a virtual Youth Dialogue ahead of the experts meeting to curate insights and recommendations from young people on learning losses and learning recovery for African girls. 

The youth dialogue will take place on Zoom on the 8th of June 2022 from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm (GMT).
