The establishment of the Duke of Africa™ Foundation® as a center for applied research and advocacy was a way to contribute effectively to address national, regional and continental youth issues. Through the social and economic opportunities abound in the global village I want to increase our forum capacity through recruiting other youth leaders to contribute positively to quality research and subsequent application of recommendation based tailored solutions. We are 1.Seeking funding 2. Youth Advocates and 3. Advocates for Youth who have focused interest in overseeing, implementing and evaluating youth led work.
