Pan African Youth Union– The organization based in Algiers was formed in Conakry, the capital of the Republic of Guinea, on 26 April 1962, encouraged by African Heads of State and Government, who wanted to create a platform to rally African youth behind the cause of the liberation. The Organization’s structure consists of a Congress, Executive Committee, Secretariat, Regional Bodies and Specialsied Committees, which are elected once every four years, out of the 53 African member countries on the continent.

Oxfam is an international confederation of 15 organizations working together in 98 countries and with partners and allies around the world to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice.
