Second Nigerian Youth Leadership Summit

Dear all,

 From July 4-5, 2006, young leaders, activists and professionals
from across Nigeria, the Diaspora and the international commu-
nity, will gather in Port Harcourt for the second Nigerian Youth
Leadership Summit.

Theme: "Youth Leadership towards better health and sustainable
development".

The Summit is an annual inter-generational gathering of youth
and experts to address specific national development issues,
with a view to finding the best solutions that meets our needs
and yet fit into the international development agenda, as en-
shrined in the various international development goals and
frameworks. During the first edition in 2005, the focus was on
the NEEDS, this year the focus will be on health.

Registration: N 3,000 for Nigerian Participants, US$ 30 for In-
ternational Participants and Diaspora.

(This fee covers Lunch for two days, snacks and conference mate-
rials, participants will be expected to cover their own trans-
portation and accommodation costs). We are currently in discus-
sions with state governments and will explore other avenues to
support youth to attend the meeting, however, we will encourage
potential participants to seek their own funding to attend the
summit.

tions and workshop sessions in any of the following areas: e-
health, HIV/AIDS prevention, care, support and treatment, ado-
lescent sexual and reproductive health, maternal and child

search. We will greatly welcome workshops and presentations on
