To build a Sustainable Healthy Community for Youth in Africa, governments should embrace private public partnerships. The public sector has the legal mandate to provide stewardship, guidance, and coordination, to create an enabling healthy environment for the implementation of youth initiatives and strengthening activities that focus on youth development.
Nevertheless, there is a significant role to play for the private sector, as a multisectoral approach is imperative to improve the lives of the youth. Public-private dialogue can strengthen policymaking and create momentum for reform. Organizations in the private sector have the capacity for efficiency and sustainability, which can be harnessed to meet important social objectives.
