At the closing ceremony of AFS Forum 2026, @ICOYACA with support from @AGRA_Africa through @GenAfrica_, has officially launched the Youth in Trade Charter.
“The Charter is a practical framework developed through consultations with young people to help translate the opportunities of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) into real outcomes for youth.” @Emolot_AD, Chairperson ICOYACA.
The launch also featured the unveiling of African-preneur Magazine: Across Borders Beyond Barriers, a publication showcasing inspiring stories of young African entrepreneurs who are breaking barriers, overcoming challenges and building successful businesses across the continent.
In my conversation with @Uwihanganye_A, CEO of @GTSummit2026, I asked him why Nairobi was chosen to host the inaugural gathering on rebuilding global trust.
At a time when confidence in international institutions and global systems is increasingly being questioned, what makes Nairobi the right place to begin this conversation?
And what does hosting the Summit in Africa mean for the continent’s role in shaping a more inclusive global order? @SingoeiAKorir

Young people lead outcomes when they hold decision seats, not just panel seats: on follow-up bodies like the Nairobi Trust Council, in tracking delivery, and in leadership pipelines. Thank you @AmanyaStuartJr @Uwihanganye_A.

In my conversation with @Uwihanganye_A, CEO of the Trust Summit, he explains why youth inclusion was a deliberate part of the inaugural @GTSummit2026.
But beyond representation, how can young people lead the outcomes of the Summit and take the trust agenda forward?

Dr McBride @MNkhalamba, Director of Governance and Specialised Reporting at the APRM Continental Secretariat, commended Rwanda’s commitment to strengthening governance through regular, evidence-based assessments.
Speaking at the launch of the Rwanda Governance Scorecard (@RwandaGov), he highlighted its role in informing policymaking, identifying areas for improvement and promoting the sharing of governance best practices across Africa.
He further recognised Rwanda’s contribution to developing common governance standards and frameworks within the @_AfricanUnion.

Real youth leadership begins when young people shift from observers to execution drivers. Beyond representation at The #TrustSummit2026, taking the trust agenda forward requires young creators, tech builders, and civic leaders actively tracking whether global promises are kept.

Young people at the table is a start. Young people writing the outcomes is the point. đź’
Because trust is built by those who stay to see it through.

Why dedicate an entire summit to TRUST?
I sat down with @Uwihanganye_A, CEO of the @GTSummit2026, to understand why trust, often seen as an abstract concept, is actually at the heart of how our world functions.

Our Generation Africa Fellows visited @go2uj’s Centre for Ecological Intelligence, where they explored innovative approaches to food production, including aquaponics, sandponics and community food gardens.
🎥 Here’s a highlight of the experience!

Did you know there’s a hidden cost to mistrust—and we all pay for it?
Since 2012, the trust gap between high and low-income earners has more than doubled. But that gap isn’t just abstract numbers—it shows up in everyday business and life as The Distrust Tax:
•More paperwork & verification
•Extra insurance & compliance
•Unpredictable policies & late payments
When people and businesses can’t simply take each other’s word, doing business gets more expensive for everyone. Mistrust is never free—somebody always pays the tax.

What does trust mean to you?
Day 1 of the @GTSummit2026 was about understanding Trust at Home.
I spoke to @OliviaTutu05 about reflections of DAY-1 but to also understand what trust means back home for a young African.

Do countries trust each other the same way people do?
When trust breaks down, individuals, institutions, and entire countries retreat: fewer risks, fewer strangers, and fewer commitments to partners who might not deliver.
Key takeaway from The Trust Summit 2026:
A trade agreement is just paper until borders open, payments clear, and disputes actually resolve.
Trust isn’t declared—it’s demonstrated through delivery.

Chairperson of the AU Commission Appoints Vanessa Nakate of Uganda as Special Envoy for Youth.
The Chairperson of the African Union (AU) Commission, H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, is pleased to announce the appointment of Vanessa Nakate of Uganda as his Special Envoy for Youth.
The Chairperson @ymahmoudali congratulates Ms. Nakate on her appointment and commends her outstanding contributions to climate justice, environmental advocacy and youth mobilisation. Her work in amplifying the voices of young people, particularly from Africa and the Global South, has helped elevate the urgency of climate action and underscored the importance of ensuring that young people are meaningfully involved in decisions affecting their present and future.
Commenting on the appointment, the Chairperson stated: “Africa’s youth are not merely the leaders of tomorrow; they are indispensable partners in shaping the continent’s future today. Vanessa Nakate’s record of advocacy for climate justice and her commitment to amplifying young people’s voices make her well placed to help strengthen the African Union’s engagement with youth across the continent.”
The Chairperson also expressed his appreciation to the AU selection panel for its diligence, professionalism and thorough due diligence throughout the selection process. He noted that a rigorous and transparent selection process is essential to identifying individuals with the experience, integrity and commitment needed to advance the Union’s priorities.
The Chairperson looks forward to working closely with Ms. Nakate to deepen the African Union’s engagement with young people and ensure that their perspectives and aspirations inform the Union’s policies and programmes. “We must continue to create meaningful opportunities for young Africans to participate in decision-making, contribute to solutions and shape the policies that affect their lives. I look forward to working with Ms. Nakate to further strengthen this partnership between the African Union and the continent’s youth,” he added.
The appointment reaffirms the AU's commitment to placing young people at the centre of Africa’s development and recognising them as essential partners in advancing the continent’s aspirations for peace, integration, prosperity and sustainable development. It also highlights the importance of youth leadership in addressing the climate crisis and promoting a more just and sustainable future for Africa.

Recap of our 2026 Fellows visit to @MarketJoburg in Johannesburg, South Africa during their industry visit.
The Market serves about 5 000 farmers from across South Africa who send their fresh produce to be traded to a large buyer base, averaging about 10, 000 daily.
I had a sit-down with Eugene Otieno, the 7th President of @StrathU Student Council, on the sidelines of the @GTSummit2026 in Nairobi.
We talked about the role of young people in rebuilding trust, why their voices matter in conversations about leadership and governance, and what it will take to move from simply being included in these spaces to actually influencing decisions. @Uwihanganye_A

A vision delivered. A promise honoured. 🌍
The historic launch of the African Credit Rating Agency (@AfCRA_Official) marks a new chapter in Africa’s pursuit of financial sovereignty and economic transformation.
I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the Government and people of Mauritius, @_AfricanUnion Member States, our partners, stakeholders and the @APRMorg team, past and present, whose dedication and collective efforts have turned this African vision into reality.
This is not the end of our journey, but the beginning of a new chapter for Africa.
Thank you for believing in Africa’s vision. Africa’s time is now!
