There are many opportunities for the youth to participate in the #peace process and to take advantage of resources i.e through online engagement. 🗨️Prof Charles Ukeje #YouthLead

#Youth groups in #Africa should think globally (work with existing frameworks from international institutions) and work locally. 🗨️Charles Ukeje ➡️#IGD on the #AUYPS continental framework #Youthlead #participationpillar

The #youth is not homogenous. There must be more emphasis on #cohesion amongst young people to facilitate intra-youth dialogues that will lead to a united front on producing peace. 💬Moctar Kane, African Union #Youth Ambassador for #Peace Training For Peace #youthlead #AUYPS

Agenda 2063 and the Silencing the Guns initiative cannot be actualized if there is no synergy between the AGA and APSA. Preventing conflicts, governance deficits and the rise of violent extremism requires us to interrogate where we went wrong and build on what we are doing right.

#UNSCR 2250 on #YouthPeaceSecurity acknowledged for the first time the “important role youth can play in the prevention and resolution of conflicts." We need to join our efforts to advance youth engagement in peace and decision-making processes. #Youth4Peace #YouthDay 📷MINUSCA
