My involvement in the project has seen some backsliding in the recent times, not because I am not committed as I had promised but because of circumstances that are beyond my control. I had some problems with security and other factors has limited my participation and contribution to the project page and development.
I am happy, after all, I am well and kicking and would like to know much that have happened and where I stand to gain or contribute as we move forward.
I believe the project objectives are being meet and that we are not moving out of the aims towards a motivated and empowered youth?
I am concerned because I am involved and would like that every step and report reflect the real picture and the people involved are getting the knowledge and skill that would help them in personal and community development and become active members of the TakingITGlobal.org online community.
I will be participating in the Nigerian summit and would try my best to discuss with the Coordinator of CLC WA in Nigeria, Mr. Jerry and others.
We are in line somewhat, and I pray we are succeeding!
Thank you for your faith!

SOMMET AFRIQUE-EUROPE DE LA JEUNESSE
RENCONTRE CONSULTATIVE REGIONALE - ZONE AFRIQUE DE l'OUEST
OUAGADOUGOU, du 1er au 3 octobre 2007
Le projet d'organisation d'un Sommet Afrique/Europe de la Jeunesse et de la Diaspora découle d'un processus de travail
mis en place par le Forum Européen de la Jeunesse et le Centre Nord/Sud du Conseil de l'Europe depuis 2005. Cet
évènement aura lieu en amont (décembre 2007) du Sommet des Chefs d'Etat de l'Union Africaine et Union
Européenne qui devrait se tenir courant décembre 2007 à Lisbonne sous la présidence portugaise de l'UE.
Le lien entre le premier projet cité ci-dessus et le processus ouvert par le Forum de la Jeunesse Africaine (Bamako,
novembre 2005) préparatoire au 23ème Sommet des Chefs d'Etat d'Afrique et de France (Bamako, décembre 2005) a
été établi par la partie française impliquée dans les deux dynamiques - c'est à dire l'Institut National de la Jeunesse et de
l'Education Populaire (INJEP), organisme du Ministère français de la Santé, de la Jeunesse et des Sports.
L'INJEP a part ailleurs, initié depuis avril 2005, un Forum de la Jeunesse Franco-Africaine qui porte sur le rôle et la
place de cette jeunesse issue de l'immigration d'Afrique subsaharienne dans la société française d'aujourd'hui.
Soulignons que le partenariat avec la Conférence des Ministres de la jeunesse et des sports des pays ayant le français en
partage (CONFEJES) confère à ce Forum une amplitude d'action à l'échelle de l'espace francophone. Enfin ce Forum
permet à l'INJEP ainsi qu'à ses partenaires d'apporter une contribution majeure dans le processus qui conduira au
Sommet Afrique/Europe de la Jeunesse et de la Diaspora.
