CALL
FOR PAPERS AU ECHO 2017 “Harnessing the Demographic Dividend through
Investments in Youth’’ Young people in Africa are an enormous resource
for the continent’s developments. It is in this regard that African
Union Heads of State and Government declared the theme for 2017 as
‘Harnessing the Demographic Dividend through Investments in Youth’. The
AU ECHO provides a platform for the 54 Member States of the African
Union, and African citizens to profile the successes of Africa, and to
impart knowledge and experiences born from African led initiatives,
based in the instruments and decisions of the African Union. It is
published on an annual basis by the Directorate of Information and
Communication (DIC) of the AUC, with a key focus on content aligned to
the AU’s Theme of the Year. The scope of the 2017 edition of the AU ECHO
calls for evidence based articles on the progress that has been
achieved as well as innovative initiatives that are being undertaken at
institutional, country and continental level, with regard to harnessing
the demographic dividend through investment in the youth, guided by the
relevant AU frameworks. View previous editions of the AU ECHO here
