As we continue to champion the advancement of youth participation and representation in governance we make the following calls:
Our Call
- The Youth Deputy Ministers must serve as youth ambassadors who should not lose touch with their constituents
- We also ask them to advance youth issues in their ministries from bipartisan perspectives
- While we recognize and celebrate our young ministers, we charge them to be open to embracing capacity development to strengthen the delivery of their mandate
- Fellow ministers who took up the mandate at their youthful age should guide and mentor the young deputy ministers to advance the cause of the youth
