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
