In collaboration with Atlas for development, the Office of Youth Envoy (OYE) joins efforts to foresee the advancement of youth role and status within their communities through empowerment, capacity building, civic engagement, and co-leadership. The event’s theme: “North African Silencing the Guns” acknowledges the role of youth in light of the ongoing pandemic, armed conflict, gender equality, and climate change that shape the African reality.
Given the increase in influence of technology, new ways of activism have seen the light. In this regard, digital advocacy is noted to bring greater visibility to questions related to the effective and meaningful youth participation.
