This page serves the African branches of One Young World's newly launched ‘Local Organising Committee' model (South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana). OYW is a UK-based, registered not-for-profit organisation that brings together the brightest young leaders from every country and sector, empowering them to make lasting connections and initiate actions to create positive change. At the annual OYW Summit, the best young leaders, counselled by the world's most influential business, political and humanitarian leaders, formulate and share innovative solutions to the world's most pressing issues. Apart from the Olympic Games, no youth-dominated event represents as many countries (196 countries represented including every African state).Known also as NYLOCs (‘National Young Leaders Organising Committees'), the LOC groups comprise individuals who contribute experience, leadership and support for One Young World on a national or regional basis.
