Every third Tuesday of the month, new episodes are released!

On this episode, we continue to talk about sustainable development goals (SDGs) and how they compare/how they should be approached in different parts of the world.

Active Citizens of Young Africa (#ACOYA) is podcast series that explores topics that need in-depth discussions through open conversations with the young people in Africa. This podcast is hosted by James Ngechu. The topics range from sustainable development goals (SDGs) to the roles of the youth in keeping our leaders accountable for a better Africa. 

ACOYA is an avenue for the young people in Africa to share knowledge and make plans to make our community, country, region and Africa a better place. We are lucky to have groups of vibrant young people across the continent that are willing to listen and learn. We are also fortunate to have people who are willing to teach and mentor these young people. The goal is to provide a platform for these linkages to happen.

We look forward to engaging with you in these discussions. Enjoy!
