The Africa Youth for Migration Programme (AYMP) is a significant initiative led by the IOM Special Liaison Office to the African Union (AU) and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), in collaboration with the AU Office of the Youth Envoy (OYE) and the African Union Commission (AUC) Women, Gender, and Youth Directorate (WGYD). The primary goal of this initiative is to involve young people in ongoing migration discussions and empower them to effectively address migration challenges on the African continent.

Under the AYMP, Migration Youth Ambassadors will be appointed to take the lead in supporting various migration-related initiatives in Africa. The key roles of these Youth Ambassadors include:
1. Building knowledge and promoting understanding among young people on migration issues, global and continental frameworks, policies, programs, and their interlinkages with other themes.
2. Facilitating platforms for young people's participation and engagement in migration discussions, ensuring their valuable perspectives and insights are incorporated into policymaking processes.
3. Amplifying the voices of youth across the continent through dialogue, advocacy, and representation, highlighting migration and human mobility as drivers for regional integration and sustainable development.
4. Contributing to the knowledge base through innovative research, policy papers, and creative content on migration and human mobility issues in Africa.
