The Summit is an annual inter-generational gathering of youth and experts to address specific national development issues, with a view to finding the best solutions that meets our needs and yet fit into the international development agenda, as enshrined in the various international development goals and frameworks. During the first edition in 2005, the focus was on the NEEDS, this year the focus will be on HEALTH.

(This fee covers lunch for two days, snacks and conference materials, participants will be expected to cover their own transportation and accommodation costs).

We are currently in discussions with state governments and will explore other avenues to support youth to attend the meeting, however, we will encourage potential participants to seek their own funding to attend the summit. We will also award 15 registration scholarships to youth who are unable to cover the costs of their registration.

Call for abstracts and workshops: We are calling for presentations and workshop sessions in any of the following areas: e-health, HIV/AIDS prevention, care, support and treatment, adolescent sexual and reproductive health, maternal and child health, malaria prevention, health policy, international health agreements and frameworks and national health development research. We will greatly welcome workshops and presentations on innovative practices in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas, on these issues.
