“Mission55 Conflict in Anaka” Game Seeks To Power Up The Youth
The
game, which the AU and GIZ developed, aims to raise awareness, educate
and inform the public, particularly youth, on the mandate of the AU to
promote good governance, peace and security in Africa.
This week the African Union (AU) Youth for Peace Africa Programme,
the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and
the United Nations Office to the African Union (UNOAU) launched a
serious game known as “Mission55 Conflict in Anaka”, to commemorate the
International Day of Peace (Peace Day) 2022. The game, which the AU and
GIZ developed, aims to raise awareness, educate and inform the public,
particularly youth, on the mandate of the AU to promote good governance,
peace and security in Africa. Moreover, the launch exposes participants
to the African Governance Architecture (AGA), the African Peace and
Security Architecture (APSA) tools used to prevent, manage and mitigate
conflicts. It also aims to enhance the agency of PeaceBuilders within
their communities.
And speaking at the opening ceremony, Patience Chiradza, Director for
Governance and Conflict Prevention, on behalf of Amb. Bankole Adeoye,
Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security, lauded the
AU-GIZ-UN partnership. She called on African youth to continue to
leverage new technologies in deepening their knowledge and understanding
toward meaningfully contributing to sustainable peace in Africa.
Chiradza underlined the significant contributions of the African
Youth Ambassadors for Peace (AYAPs) in advancing the implementation of
the youth, peace and security agenda in close collaboration with the AU
Member States, particularly the Peace and Security Council., “The
adoption of the Continental Framework on Youth, Peace and Security and
its 10-Year Implementation Plan in 2020 is a key milestone,” concluded
Chiradza. On his part, Parfait Onanga-Anyanga, Special Representative of
the UN Secretary-General to the African Union and Head of UNOAU,
reiterated the UN’s commitment to promote human dignity, end racism and
build peace, in line with the Peace Day 2022 theme and the Joint AU-UN
Framework for an Enhanced Partnership. Onanga-Anyanga stated that
education is critical in promoting harmony in our communities and
applauded the use of technological innovations for inclusivity in
peacebuilding.
According to Stephan Auer, German Ambassador to Ethiopia, “This game
will reinforce outreach efforts as youth can now connect through
smartphones and be more aware of the work of the African Union in crisis
prevention, conflict management and peacebuilding”. And following the
launch, the AYAPs convened a Youth General Assembly to update young
people on the status of the implementation of the youth, peace and
security agenda in Africa. These activities to mark Peace Day 2022 at
the AU Headquarters brought together representatives from the AU and
partner organizations, AYAPs, and other young people from across the
continent, including digital media practitioners and social media
influencers. To learn more, the game can be downloaded at Mission 55 Games.
UNICEF joined the South African education
stakeholders to look, pump up society and rallied it to action over
the protection of schools.
The South African Democratic Teachers’ Union (SADTU), which happens
to be the biggest union in the education and public service sector, in
collaboration with the National Education Collaboration Trust (NECT) and
UNICEF South Africa, are on a campaign to protect schools’
infrastructure.
This collaboration stems from Sadtu’s ‘I am a school fan’
campaign intended to mobilise all stakeholders that includes learners,
parents, teachers, community members, relevant government departments,
faith-based organisations, and the private sector to play a decisive
role towards ensuring that schools are safe.
Moreover, the July 2021 “riots” and the recent floods in
KwaZulu-Natal further illuminated the infrastructure challenges in our
schools.
CAPE
TOWN: “It is our view that the youth will be the catalytic force to the
realization of the continental agenda. This asset in our hands is
perhaps the greatest resource, an asset much more valuable than all the
oil and mineral resources. The African youth are beginning to make
significant contributions to economic transformation across the
continent.”
These words were made by Prof. Benedict Okechukwu Oramah, President
and Chairman of Afreximbank, during his opening remarks at the 29th
Annual Meetings of Afreximbank recently.
Prof. Oramah has made a strong case for the role of the youth in
Africa’s developmental future, emphasizing that industrial revolutions
seen in other countries were largely attributed to a young and capable
workforce; a young and capable workforce is representative of Africa’s
workforce today.
Recent developments and research show that Africa represents one of
the highest potential markets for growth with significant natural and
human capital resources untapped.
Diverse and rich with opportunities, the continent is home to a
number of growing markets spanning natural and mineral resources,
construction, infrastructure, forestry, agriculture, tourism and
cultural sectors.
However, it is the continent’s human capital and digital technology
potential that offers the solution to unlocking a new era of
intra-African trade and growth.
Following the formation of the Organization of African Unity in 1963,
now the African Union (AU), established with a vision for an Africa
that was united, free and in control of its own destiny, countries
across the continent have been progressively improving intra-African
trade and commerce, recognizing the role cross-border business and
continental cooperation will play in driving sustainable socioeconomic
growth in Africa.
To further incentivize trade, the African Continental Free Trade
Agreement (AfCFTA) was implemented in January 2021, the premise of which
was to form the world’s largest free trade area by connecting the over
1.3 billion people across 54 African countries.
And the AfCFTA marked a historic moment for the continent, signaling a new era of simplified trade in Africa.
However, despite its implementation, an article by the Economist of
London stated that adoption and leveraging of the AfCFTA has been slow,
and “in practice, no trade has happened under its terms because of
continued political wrangling.
“Africa’s leaders risk squandering the promise of freer trade.” says Prof. Oramah.
He contended that, “While the Economist was right with regards to the
facts set out in their article, the conclusions are wrong because the
facts in the article are symptoms of a major problem the article did not
explore. We cannot reverse the symptoms without confronting the
problem.”
According to Prof. Oramah, it is necessary to explore the roots of
the problem rather than simply criticize modern state of affairs, while
driving the adoption and capitalization of growth-oriented agreements
such as the AfCFTA.
Specifically, in order to accelerate intra-African trade and
commerce, the continent should turn towards its own resources, driving
investment and development by leveraging Africa’s human capital and
technological potential.
“While the problem was identified decades ago, it is only now that
Africa can boast of possessing a combination of factors that can resolve
it. These consist of visionary and committed leadership, the youth, and
digital technology. Our leadership has done the courageous work of
giving us the AfCFTA. A lot now hinges on our Youth. It is for this
reason that Afreximbank dedicated this year’s Annual Meeting to the
theme, “Realizing the AfCFTA Potential in the Post-COVID-19 Era:
Leveraging the Power of The Youth,” Prof. Oramah continued.
As Africa’s diverse markets witness heightened investment and
development in a post-COVID-19 context, trade will be critical for
ensuring continental, rather than isolated, socio-economic development.
The youth’s role in this development is clear and by investing in the
continent’s human capital development, Africa will be able to reap the
rewards of a strong and growth-focused economy.
“The African Energy Chamber (AEC) is not only an advocate for the
development of the continent’s natural resources but of its human
capital resources. Africa’s population represents the youngest, the
fastest growing and arguably the most determined. It is time for us to
position the youth at the forefront of the continent’s development, and
only then will we be able to witness unprecedented growth. During the
continent’s premier energy event, African Energy Week 2022, discussions
will center around the youth, the role of women in Africa’s energy
future and strategies for enhancing intra-African trade and business,”
states NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the AEC.
Prof. Oramah concluded, “Sprouting everywhere in a fragmented
continent, the African youth are poised to make giant strides in a
single continental market and could seamlessly become the drivers of
Africa’s integration and intra-African trade. Policies that give them
intellectual property protection, ease the cost of doing business as
well as improve access to the single African market will unleash their
entrepreneurial drive. A vibrant single market will open a new vista of
opportunities that will broaden the choices available to the youth and
empower them to reach their potential.”
World Youth Skills Day 2022 promotes TVET as a Solution
“Young
people are drivers of change and must be fully engaged in decisions
affecting their future. Guided by the United Nations Youth 2030
strategy, I urge everyone to act for youth skills development as a
priority, at the Summit and beyond.” UN Secretary-General António
Guterres.
“Young people are drivers of change and must be fully engaged in
decisions affecting their future. Guided by the United Nations Youth
2030 strategy, I urge everyone to act for youth skills development as a
priority, at the Summit and beyond.” UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
The UN Chief made these words on Friday, July 15, 2022 during the World Youth Skills Day celebrations.
In 2014, the United Nations General Assembly declared July 15 as World Youth Skills Day.
The
idea behind this move is to celebrate the strategic importance of
equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work and
entrepreneurship.
And since then, World Youth Skills Day has
provided a unique opportunity for dialogue between young people,
technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions,
firms, employers’ and workers’ organizations, policy-makers and
development partners.
World Youth Skills Day 2022 took place amid
concerted efforts towards socio-economic recovery from the COVID-19
pandemic that are interconnected with challenges such as climate change,
conflict, persisting poverty, rising inequality, rapid technological
change, demographic transition among others.
Research shows that
young women and girls, young persons with disabilities, youth from
poorer households, rural communities, indigenous peoples, and minority
groups, as well as those who suffer the consequences of violent conflict
and political instability, continue to be excluded due to a combination
of factors.
In addition, the crisis has accelerated several
transitions the world of work was already undergoing, which add layers
of uncertainty regarding the skills and competencies that will be in
demand after the pandemic is overcome.
TVET is well placed to
help address these challenges by reducing access barriers to the world
of work, ensuring that skills gained are recognized and certified, and
offering skills development opportunities for out-of-school youth and those not in employment, education or training (NEET).
Experts
have declared that during this Decade of Action for the 2030 Agenda,
the full engagement of young people in global processes is vital to
generate positive change and innovation.
The celebrations of
World Youth Skills Day 2022 highlighted the ongoing focus on the
Transforming Education Summit (September 2022), and contributed to the
work being done under its Thematic Action Track “Learning and skills for
life, work, and sustainable development”. The summit is a
youth-inspired global event of major importance for the future of
millions of young people; it is prepared by, with and for youth.
The
“Transforming youth skills for the future” global event was
co-organized by the Permanent Missions of Portugal and Sri Lanka to the
United Nations, together with UNESCO, ILO and the Office of the
Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth. It brought together youth,
governments, UN agencies, private sector and civil society
representatives to analyse the impact of current crises on youth across the world, and discussed how young people can quickly adapt to the demands of an ever-changing world.
Moreover,
organisers state, the growing youth population, rising unemployment in
many countries, changes in the labour market and in our economy due to
technological developments are just some of the reasons why we must
provide future generations with the entrepreneurial skills and mindsets
they need to cope with a changing world.
And to help technical
and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions form the
entrepreneurial values that are important for young people’s lives,
economic development and a sustainable society, UNESCO–UNEVOC has
developed a practical guide on how to introduce entrepreneurial learning where it is lacking, and how to mainstream it in vocational training.
To
the question of: What role do technical and vocational education and
training play? The overwhelming response from experts and industry
leaders is that, education and training are central to the achievement
of the 2030 Agenda.
And the vision of the Incheon Declaration:
Education 2030 is fully captured by Sustainable Development Goal 4
“Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong
learning opportunities for all”.
They add that, Education 2030
devotes considerable attention to technical and vocational skills
development, specifically regarding access to affordable quality
Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET); the acquisition
of technical and vocational skills for employment, decent work and
entrepreneurship; the elimination of gender disparity and ensuring
access for the vulnerable.
In this context, TVET is expected to
address the multiple demands of an economic, social and environmental
nature by helping youth and adults develop the skills they need for
employment, decent work and entrepreneurship, promoting equitable,
inclusive and sustainable economic growth, and supporting transitions to
green economies and environmental sustainability, the experts
emphasize.
The average age in Africa is 19 and sport, specifically basketball,
is a passion point for more than 100 million fans across the continent.
In recent years we have seen the number of African players rising on the
international circuit, providing inspiration and impetus for many young
people dreaming of becoming the next global basketball all-star, so
says Emmanuel Kasambala, KFC Marketing Director, Rest of Sub-Saharan
Africa.
“For us it’s about
developing our home continent’s youth – giving them the facilities and
safe spaces to use their talents and grow their skills. It is for this
reason that we are refurbishing and building basketball courts within communities in key markets.”
KFC
Africa, the most loved fast-food brand in 23 markets across the
continent, is partnering with Serge Ibaka, of the Milwaukee Bucks, to
enable and uplift the continent’s youth and communities, whilst growing
grass-roots basketball.
Following on from KFC Africa’s announcement about its partnership with NBA Africa, the brand has even bigger plans for the game.
The
first of these basketball courts was recently built and donated in
Kenya, as a result of a partnership between KFC and the Jonathan Jackson
Foundation (JJF).
Moreover,
this was initiated under the Bakee Mtaani (‘basketball in the hood’)
initiative, at the Humama Public Grounds in Kayole Community, and also
sees youth within the community benefitting from basketball equipment
and coaching programmes at the new court.
In
addition to this, a significantly positive spin-off was that the
construction of the court resulted in jobs for more than 50 skilled and
unskilled youths.
And with
regards to the courts initiative specifically, this is just the
beginning – ambitious plans are underway for another 11 courts in Kenya
in coming months, as well as additional projects in other markets including Botswana, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Namibia, Nigeria, Senegal and Tanzania among others.
“We
are also extremely excited about our epic collab with Serge Ibaka – an
African basketball legend – to further highlight the strength and
potential of the game. It goes without saying that Serge is a true
inspiration to our youth, and by joining forces, we accelerate growth
and development for the stars of the future.”
Born
in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo, Serge is a three-time NBA
All-Defensive First Team selection and has twice led the league in
blocks. In 2019, he won his first NBA championship as a key member of
the Toronto Raptors.
Adding
to these impressive basketball credentials, Serge is also personally
invested in uplifting and developing the youth, through his own Serge
Ibaka Foundation, that focuses on issues of children’s health and education, and the Serge Ibaka Dreams Academy, that focuses on giving back through basketball.
In
adding his perspective, Serge Ibaka says, “The talent that Africa is
producing is just amazing and my goal is to inspire them and to
contribute to ensure that the next generation is given every opportunity
to shine in the game I love. I am very proud to be able to partner with
KFC Africa to give more back to my home continent. Having basketball
courts in their local communities, close to young players, is a huge
advantage in helping them to develop their basketball and life skills.”
KFC
Africa believes in fueling the passion-points of the young, and young
at heart, by connecting at the touch-points that mean something across
its markets.
Kasambala
concluded, “With Serge being such an icon in the game, it made perfect
sense for us to take up the opportunity to partner with him to bring our
brand’s support of basketball to life. Additionally, it is through
initiatives like this that KFC Africa aims to see more young players
from Africa level up both on and off the court, whilst creating a
lasting legacy for generations to come.”
