When I was assigned to Mentor an Innovator from Cameroon,our challenge was the language lol ,I am grateful to the African Center for Digital Transformation for giving me an opportunity to contribute towards shaping Africa's future

[African Union Political Affairs Peace and Security @AUC_PAPS]

At the 5th Continental Dialogue on WPS & YPS, @AU_AYAPs Southern Africa, Ruth Kangwa @hon_kangwa, shared a regional perspective on implementing the Youth, Peace and Security Agenda. Her region is making encouraging progress, with countries advancing YPS at different stages and in different ways, alongside regional efforts through SADC and COMESA.

She highlighted concrete developments, including Malawi’s adopted National Action Plan on YPS; Mozambique’s national process towards validation of its NAP; Namibia’s work towards its first National Action Plan; and Lesotho’s efforts to localise WPS/YPS through district-level action and community peacebuilding.

In Zambia, the process of developing a National Action Plan on YPS has begun, with the formation of a technical working group now underway to take the process forward, with @MYSAZambia and @MFAICZambia at the centre of the process.

In less than two months, Ruth has directly reached more than 2,400 young peace ambassadors in secondary schools across Zambia, through peace education and peaceful civic participation. The experience reinforces a simple message: young people do not need to be persuaded that peace matters; they need the opportunities, skills, trust, and institutional space to contribute to it.

I am so privileged to attend the First Permanent Committee Meeting on Peace and Security.
The fact of the matter is that ,sustainable peace cannot be achieved without meaningful youth participation.
