Youth participation with a formal output.
AYEP is not a youth panel added to the end of a conference agenda. It is a structured parliamentary process with representation, preparation, debate, drafting and presentation.
Delegates examine policy through the realities of enterprise-building, technical work, study, community access and regional energy systems. Their work culminates in the African Youth Energy Manifesto 2027, presented during the AETC closing plenary.
