THE PAN AFRICAN YOUTH MOVEMENT, UGANDA
The pan African youth movement Uganda chapter traces its roots from the 7th pan African congress that took place in 1994 in Kampala and among many attendants where NGOs, governments, student movements from Africa and Diaspora. AS the result of this conference many resolutions where made which includes establishing a pan African secretariat in Kampala Uganda to help to coordinate the activities of the organization. In the same conference the resolution was passed of forming pan African youth chapters in deferent countries.

The pan African youth movement Uganda chapter was fully registered in 1998, under the motto “one struggle many fronts” with many objectives which includes: 1. To mobilize youth for development and empowerment. 2. To sensitize youth on pan African issues and agenda 3. To start small income generating projects that give youth income. 4. To introduce youth to the leadership challenges in African situations. 5. To continue the liberation struggles of our people, bearing in mind that, that was the time when Uganda was hosting many refugees from our neighbour states in the region which includes: Burundi, Somalia, Sudan, Congo, Rwanda, and many others So those brothers were helped very much by our organization from basic needs to protection against all odds The pan-African youth movement Uganda chapter was able to organize dialogue Among conflicting factions out of the state arrangements The pan African youth movement has also managed to establish pan African clubs in the universities, colleges, secondary schools hence the youth are introduced to the challenges facing our continent. All this has helped to liberate people mentally in which we call it mental slavery. Some of the current projects include - Friday discussions and group study programs - Innovation of fuel free generator that is under assembling. - Innovation of solar cell which will be developed to solar panel.
