With the #MansaKunda in full flow, children from across the country are holding their duty bearers to account:
“What plans are in place to prevent the entry of drugs into the country?”
“Why is it that we are not providing enough textbooks and lab materials in the rural areas?”
This is a unique opportunity for them to speak directly with the Honourable Ministers. #ChildParticipation in action!

praising the participation of women and young people in nation-building. Stressing that victims must be included in these conversations to make them understand importance of forgiveness and reconciliation to garner developments and peaceful coexistence.
#TheGambia | #Day3 of the nationwide #Caravan started with an exciting radio interview with @QTV_GMB. We highlighted the caravan’s mission and objectives, stressing the importance of involving youth in nation building, peace, and reconciliation processes.
Today, the #Caravan engaged with youth in #TheGambia's West Coast region to discuss their critical role in advocating for TJ processes. One participant said “For youth to participate in nation building, the government should commit to development, especially in agricultural.”
Youth participation in transitional justice, governance, reconciliation, and peace-building is crucial for the advancement of societies recovering from dictatorship. As a founding member of @ONOV_GMB I am delighted to join the @theICTJ once again on a nationwide caravan.
Day one of the national caravan has just concluded with an insightful focus on governance and transitional justice, with a particular emphasis on involving youth in these areas.
Tomorrow West Coast
