As we step into 2025 with hope, ambition, and determination, ICOYACA extends its warmest wishes to our remarkable AfCFTA Champions. You have been instrumental in shaping Africa’s narrative, and together, we are building a continent where opportunities transcend borders. 2024 was monumental, and your unwavering support and commitment made it unforgettable. Together were able to successfully organize capacity building trainings, workshops and Conferences and co-created key sessions in two major Youth Summits, among other initiatives. In partnership with the Afrikan Youth Business Council, we ended the year with the launch of the Youth Dome.
Today, I celebrate a milestone, my 30th birthday and as I reflect on this journey, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the opportunities, challenges, and people who have shaped my life. From my early days in Tororo Municipality, through my academic journey, to serving on global platforms, I have been blessed with countless moments that have taught me the value of resilience, purpose, and service. I am humbled to have had the chance to contribute to meaningful causes, from youth empowerment, Peace and Security and governance to advancing Africa’s industrialization agenda. As Chairperson of the AfCFTA Youth Advisory Council, I’ve worked tirelessly to ensure young people have a voice in shaping Africa’s future. Through collaborations with incredible organizations, I’ve learned the power of partnership and vision.Moments like being recognized among the United Nations top 100 most influential people of African descent, leading key initiatives and establishing the Emolot Foundation are not just accomplishments, they are responsibilities. They remind me that every step forward is a step to uplift others, especially Africa’s youth, who hold the key to our continent’s transformation. Turning 30 is a reminder that the journey is far from over. It is a call to dream bigger, work harder, and serve even more selflessly. To everyone who has walked this path with me; mentors, colleagues, friends, and family, thank you for your support and belief in me. The best is yet to come. Together, we will continue building a better Africa for generations to come. Here’s to the next chapter! Asante Sana,Emolot Allan David
