Description
The situation of young people worldwide remains precarious. In both developing and developed countries, the needs and aspirations of youth are still largely unmet. They therefore arise with a vision of taking responsibility, saying enough is enough. With Youth-unemployment rate among the highest in West Africa and Africa at large, it’s high time we place young people at the center of development to focus and fight against YOUTH-unemployment. We are living in a difficult time, and until youth begin to arise to talk about issues that concern them, there might be no reasonable solution.
The W.A.Y Africa (The War Against Youth-unemployment in Africa) is an initiative of HEAL THE WORLD MISSION INC. This forum is building an international community of proactive young people across Africa and the world as we gather together more than 100 Youth cut across the 54 Countries of Africa who are prone towards responsibility and constructive behavior in the current changes the contemporary world is undergoing.

This is a 3-day action packed, high degree, idea generating, brain storming, mind grooming, challenging yet fun filled, “get result” open discussion. The gathering harnesses the power of youth, their cultural diversity, their domain expertise and their deep conversations about today’s youth-unemployment challenge and then accelerate them into profitable ventures for international development.
The organizers are calling young talented and creative individuals, young project coordinators, young intellectuals, young researchers, and young experts in relevant fields full of new ideas to tackle youth-unemployment in Africa and are ready to work collaboratively for collective international benefit.
