Documents have been devt., are being devt. and will be devt. but if no operationalization is taking place, is just like faith without action. The doc. itself is good, very good indeed, but it needs life, it needs youth to give it life. We, I as a youth is tired of being spoon fed with bad food.

I should inform you that the charter has now been ratified by 13/4 countries, signed by 32 and is being popularised accross the African Union. The Ministers in charge of youth met in February 2008 to adopt a plan of action to accelerate the ratification, popularisation and implementation of the charter. Right now, the AU Commission is working with 11 member states to assist them in the process to get the charter ratified. This is in keeping with the provisions of the plan of action. Also as a follow-up to the year of the African Youth 2008, the heads of state and governments have also declared the years 2009-2018 as the decade on youth development in Africa, and a plan of action is being developed, which will serve as an implementation framework for the charter. Young people have played an active role in all this through their various NGO initiatives and through the African Youth Initiative and Creativity Awards, which was launched by the AU Chairperson in 2007. It is my hope that activities to popularise, advocate for the ratification of the charter and get it to come into force will increase accross youth networks accross the continent.

I congratulate all the stakeholders of such a brilliant venture. I hope it shall not only remain a charter but efforts will be geared towards its application and guidance for youth development.
