We are youths who are influencing and monitoring ๐ฟ๐ผ policies and legislation in a bid to ensure they are conscious to the needs and aspirations of young people.
Please do give us a follow and retweet as we want to reach as many youths as possible
2/ Therefore, the youth are encouraged to:
1. Contact their Local Authority & inquire about the dates & venues of the consultations.
2. Share the information with their peers and networks through various platforms & channels.
3. Attend the consultations and voice their opinions.
1/ The youth have a stake in the development of their communities and should actively engage in the decision-making processes that affect them. One of the avenues for such engagement is the Local Government Budget Consultations, which are scheduled to take place soon.
Youth engagement in policy formulation is a vital component of a prosperous Zim๐ฟ๐ผ. We are committed to continuously work with the Parliamentary Youth Caucus & @ParliamentofZim Portfolio Committee on Youth to amplify youth voices & promote formulation of youth-inclusive policies.
