PAMBAZUKA FREE AND INDEPENDENT! Fahamu Bulletin: News about our P
rogrammes 6 July 2015 *Message from the Executive Director *
Dear reader of Pambazuka News,
This month, we feature Fahamu’s Youth Initiative. Africa is a young
continent with at least 62 per cent of its population being under the age
of 35 and more than 35 per cent representing the age bracket of 15 to 35
years. As such, any policies and developmental initiatives on the continent
ought to involve them by providing platforms through which they can
contribute their views and opinions on the affairs of the continent. With
the youth forming the majority of Africa’s population, it is essential that
they are part of decision-making processes in their respective countries,
and also at a regional and continental level. Young people’s exclusion
poses a threat to the future of the continent and its development since one
cannot decide the future of Africa without the active participation of the
majority of its population.
Cognisant of that reality, Fahamu’s Youth Initiative attempts to provide
various platforms where young people can take part in policy design and
implementation at various levels.
My colleagues and I will be happy to get your feedback on this and other
Fahamu projects.
Warm regards,
*Yves Niyiragira*
------------------------------
Fahamu’s Youth Initiative works towards providing opportunities and
platforms for idea generation, peer learning, sharing and growing as well
as developing innovative ways to engage, link, network and work with
various youth organisations and initiatives both on the continent and
globally. The Youth Initiative is being implemented in Kenya, Senegal, the
Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Botswana and Burundi.
Fahamu expects that the Youth Initiative will enable young people to
directly engage policy makers in those countries, propose ideas to solve
various problems that affect young people, but also be part of those
solutions. Fahamu believes that young people have solutions to problems
affecting them, what they need is to be able to access platforms that
enable them to communicate their views and implement them.
