Resume

This intervention is dedicated to catalysing transformative change by unleashing the power of grassroots youth in Uganda's local governance. Our multifaceted strategy encompasses: 1- Empowering individual youth through mobilisation, education, and empowerment, igniting their engagement in democratic processes and policy shaping. 2- Strengthening youth-led CSOs to serve as dynamic hubs for mobilisation and advocacy, uniting youth voices and driving meaningful participation. Finally, 3- Amplifying these voices by facilitating advocacy efforts through lobby meetings, community parliaments, and creating spaces for a closer connection between local youth, communities, and their government. Together, we'll bridge the gap and champion a more youth and grassroots-friendly local policy landscape.
