ENDORSEMENT OF CHERINET HARIFFO For African Union Youth Envoy [Your organisation letterhead] Date: __________________ To: The African Union Commission Subject: Endorsement of Cherinet Hariffo for the role of African Union Youth Envoy To whom it may concern, [Organisation name] writes to formally endorse Cherinet Hariffo for the position of African Union Youth Envoy. Africa is the youngest continent on earth, with most of its people under the age of thirty. The young people we represent deserve a Youth Envoy who has lived their realities and who has already proven that they can carry those realities into the highest rooms of international decision-making. Cherinet Hariffo is such a person. As a former refugee who arrived in Kenya as a child, and as the youngest individual ever seated as a Permanent Representative to the United Nations, he brings both lived experience and institutional credibility to the role. His work on youth policy and across the African diaspora reflects a consistent commitment to putting young Africans at the centre of the decisions that shape their future. We believe his candidacy advances the goals of Agenda 2063 and the meaningful participation of young people in the work of the African Union. We are pleased to lend our name and our support. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this endorsement further.
