Advancing Youth Participation in Democratic Processes

Description: Governance Insights partnered with youth organizations and government agencies to enhance youth participation in democratic processes and governance structures in Somalia. Through a series of capacity-building workshops, advocacy campaigns, and youth-led initiatives, we empowered young people to engage actively in decision-making, electoral processes, and community development projects. The project facilitated the establishment of youth forums, mentorship programs, and leadership training opportunities, enabling young people to become effective advocates for positive change in their communities. As a result, youth representation in local governance bodies increased, and young leaders emerged as key stakeholders in shaping the future of Somalia’s democratic landscape.
