Les taxes informelles infligées aux jeunes contribuables sous-forme de #amaherayimbuga avaient été décriées par les jeunes investisseurs et notre projet de plaidoyer en a fait un des thèmes en 2019. Nous remercions le @MininterInfosBi de la décision de suspendre cette pratique.
#powerthenext2019 a été une belle opportunité pr nous de plaider pour la réglementation/ suppression des frais d’adhésion au près du @Min_JPTic, ns trouvons que cette pratique handicape les projets entrepreneuriaux des jeunes et elle étouffe la politique nationale de l’emploi
We celebrate the #IWD while we are investing in leadership and socioeconomic support to women to face the COVID-19 deeply effecting on the families. We believe that women leadership can pave the way to children well-being. Thanks to @streetchilduk for the support.
