Context

Afro Arab Youth Council (AAYC) was inaugurated by youth of Africa and Arab world gathering in Khartoum, Sudan in 2004. Its headquarter later changed to Uganda after the resolution of the Afro Arab Youth Festival of 2008, in Munyonyo (Kampala Declaration) that resolved to construct its AAYC permanent home in Kampala. A secretariat was set up at Bunamwaya to pursue the objectives of the AAYC as outlined in the AAYC Statutes.

The AAYC aims to use practical approaches to deal with youth pressing issues and provide realistic solutions which corelate with the current times.
