 And investing in the conditions that enable young entrepreneurs to thrive is a critically important investment. Why? Because if we're to look at the recent example of COVID, it was micro, nano, and small enterprises that paid a brief role in helping economies to get back up on their feet. And I think one of the things that youth connect us and a very few other such initiatives, too, is to really enable us to think of this across borders. Youth connect, as the colleagues have said, is the moment in which we are able to galvanize and to bring together youth from across the country. And so, I ended my second message, the idea of youth connect as a means of future proofing sustainable development is key. Thirdly, youth connect and its journey over the last 10 years, I think presents us with a very clear proof of concept, right? It is an initiative that has demonstrated itself as being stable. And the 20,000 delegates are talking about it. It's just the first step. Because as those of us who have the privilege to participate in youth connect, this is going to be life-streamed. Some of us said the revolution will be televised. In this case, youth connect is going to enable Kenya, Nairobi in particular, to be the center of attention, the lightening world. And this lightening world, what is it going to attract? It's going to attract first and foremost political energy. We have heard and we have seen that the leaders of the continent will convene around this. It's also going to be a lightening world for intellectual and creative energies, right? People get together and it is by sharing ideas that we give them life. It is also going to be a means, and this I think is the key point, to attract and to galvanize entrepreneurial energies. We bring solution providers together. And together we give them a space to really make sure that the sun is greater than the past. And so here, the third message, my friends, is that of sustainability. This thing is real, right? It's not an idea, it's not a talk show, it's not a concept. It's an opportunity we are going to grasp together. It does now have a partnership in the Germany. So you have to give one of many actors. And I think the fact of me standing here is really testament to the nature of this partnership. UMP and the U.S. system, as you know, is nothing more than the international civil service. This means we, as the United Nations, are composed of, represent and work towards aspirations of humanity and man and woman kind. That said, in terms of the partnership, I think one of the things that makes me connect to UNI is that it brings together first and foremost governments of whom, as of today, we have 32, but I can guarantee you, following what I know will be a record breaker, many others are going to be interested. Another thing that is going to make this coming with the negative different is that I think at scale, and for the first time, we have witnessed, we have witnessed in the run-up, even to today, interest, engagement, and very strong signals. So partners beyond the continent, I don't want to name them, but I will leave for his excellency, Waziri, and others to do so. But we have had really, really powerful enthusiasm from the young African civil business. I think it speaks to Africa's position in the world. It has been said by many before me. We are the continent of hope. Whatever you might read in the media, this is where it's at, okay? And youth connect gives us an opportunity to showcase this to the world. Beyond governments, there are the friends if you were in other countries, right? So international partners. And I think just judging from the track record to date, they have acquitted themselves well. But even though we are going to ask them and invite them to continue this journey, I really do reflect the importance of this. You know, at the end of the day, what makes this also unusual, this is about African solutions. As many of our leaders have said, this is about also African solutions for African challenges, right? So this is something that is generally homegrown, right? So while we bring and we invite and we encourage international partners, we do the heavy lifting and we do it together. Last but not least, the question of the private sector. And private sector, I'm not just talking about the titans of industry, although they play a key role, but really trickling it down. What do I mean, because if we can be convinced and if we can show this in our action, others won't follow. Money and resources is not the problem. Money and resources with all is full of promise and most importantly, a good and bankable idea. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we want to show you, is to connect a good idea. We want to be at our best. We want to make this count. This is not a job for me, this is not a, as was said by Dicello and others, this is not just talking. This is about putting our front and best foot forward. This is about action. That's why we have head-soaked skills. I'm not just saying head-soaked, we have luminaries in the region coming together for this, but more importantly, we have ourselves. When no one is here by accident.
