Events

A continental conversation. A shared purpose. A bolder Africa.

The Kabilun Africa Think Tank (KATT), hosted by the Empowering Women for Excellence Initiative (EWEI), invites you to a landmark pan-African town hall: “The Continent Speaks.”

This virtual gathering marks the official launch of two complementary KATT publications:

  • Legacy Two: The KATT Country Issue 2025 Mapping: Youth Perspectives on Peace, Poverty, and the Intersectional Divide — presenting youth-led insights across 25 African countries.
    • Legacy Three: The Resilience Paradox: Education, Energy and the Economic Reality of Zambian Youth — a deep-dive exploration into how energy, education, and economic structures shape daily life and resilience.

    Together, these publications connect broad continental patterns with focused, country-level realities to transform research findings into actionable policy dialogue and collaboration.

    We are honoured to convene a diverse panel of youth leaders, policy analysts, researchers, and technical specialists from across Algeria, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and beyond.
