KATT | THE AFRICA WE DESERVE

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

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.

We were 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.

 SAVE THE DATE: The Continent Speaks! 

For too long, policy debates have been top-down affairs. It’s time to flip the script. The Kabilun Africa Think Tank (KATT) is officially launching Legacy Two and Legacy Three—and we want your voice at the centre of the room.

This isn’t a passive webinar where you just sit and listen. This is a pan-African town hall designed for active engagement, where you will have a direct platform to say what’s on your mind, challenge the status quo, and connect with changemakers across the continent.

Why You Cannot Miss This:

• Be the Missing Variable: Our data exposes the massive “Resilience Paradox” facing African youth—highly qualified generations trapped by structural economic, energy, and governance bottlenecks. Come add your lived experience to the data.
• Tackle the Hard Truths: We are unpacking everything from the realities of climate-induced power grids and localised crime to changing perspectives on gender equality across 25 African nations.
• Drive Actionable Solutions: This is where raw grassroots perspectives get translated into strategic frameworks for regional policy advocacy. Your input will help shape the blueprint for “The Africa We Deserve.”

 Engage, Speak Up, and Win! 

We value active contributors, not spectators. To celebrate collective African thought, we will be tracking mobilisation and engagement throughout the event. 

Our top three most engaged participants will win “The 2026 KATT Launch Pan-African Dialogue Award “

Granted to the top three participants who mobilise the most attendees and spark the most constructive cross-continental debates or solutions. The winners will be those who are able to mobilise and engage participants across the continent; and are active conversationalists in the live chat and Q&A sessions.

Prize for each: A sponsored professional courses, an official feature profile across our digital platforms and a certificate of recognition.We will cross-reference registrations, attendance and participation to confirm the winners.
