Pan-African Youth Empowerment & Leadership

#YouthSpace #SDG4QualityEducationLifeLongLeaening #Pan-AfricanYouthEmpowerment #WorldYouthSkillsDay I couldn't hold back my happiness after receiving this Certificate of Recognition by Project Pakati under the African Leadership Institute (ALI). 

This initiative seeks to harness the collective influence of Africa’s young leaders by building a networking platform and a community in greater numbers that affords young leaders the ability of reaching a critical mass to impact the issues that Africa faces. AFLI will be working with leadership organizations across Africa to build this networking platform and community to be able to collectively have a greater impact for good. "Pakati" is a Bantu word – Shona, Ndebele and Zulu - which means the 'centre' and aptly captures the objective of the project which is to make young leaders more visible in this journey.

#MyTake +throughMylens 

As young people we have different spaces we can share our voice to be heard and influence even greater policies that will contribute positively towards Africa's growth and development. I'm always ready to contribute and work towards the well being of young people not only in my country but also in the entire African continent. 

#YouthAdvocate I know I will not remain a youth forever, but I'm certain I will always have a youth agenda at heart and I will always do whatever I can towards contributing positively towards their well being in different spaces. Check out my current initiative, which you can also support me in achieving the desired vision www.wilseninitiative.wordpress.com 

My areas of interest are; 

• Leadership
• Advocacy
• Training, 
• Technology, 
• Education
• Sports for development.
• Mentorship
• Community development. 

" Kenya will be better placed as one of the leading countries to invest, creativity and innovation only if it takes deliberate efforts towards meaningful youth engagement in all aspects of development. - Wilson Masaka Youth Advocate & Social Entrepreneur. "A country whose youth continues to take the back seat in all aspects of its development either deliberately or by its systems design will continue to be faced with many unlimited changes." - Wilson Masaka Youth Advocate & Social Entrepreneur. 

"If we want to prepare the youth for the future opportunities and challenges we need to pay keen attention on the vital technical skills that address today's need while providing future solutions without the exception of soft skills and lifelong learning as part of their development package." - Wilson Masaka Youth Advocate, Social Entrepreneur.

I want to encourage young people to take an active role in building the future they want by joining meaningful projects and online communities that they can learn, share, contribute and connect with other positive change makers, policy makers, transformative leaders etc.
