The Youth Café was honored to be invited to attend and speak as a panelist at the 7th annual Devolution Conference held from 23rd to 26th November, 2021 in Makueni County. The Executive Director of The Youth Café, Willice Onyango spoke at the Prevention and management of conflict breakaway session whose theme was “Prevention and Management of Climate Change Instigated Conflicts: Collaborative Responses”.
The youth, products of their communities, are key agents of peacebuilding, especially those who have experienced conflict firsthand. These young people have key roles to play in peace processes since they have a clear vision of what peace could look like in their countries and communities and have the drive to work towards the realisation of these goals.
The Youth Café was featured on Forbes Magazine last year and this year we have been featured on two more websites-NGOSIFY and AllAfrica.com. The Youth Café is featured on both these articles for the projects we work in under our eight priority areas featured in our Theory of Change, in this case, mainly ‘Governance and Political inclusion-Accountability & Remittances’ and ‘Business, job Creation and Entrepreneurship.’ , as well as the ways in which we empower the youths in Africa.
The mission of the global Coalition is to provide comprehensive guidance direction and support on youth, peace and security with the overarching goal of execution of the UNSCR 2250 guidelines into practice and to improve and amplify evidence-based practice, support and advocate for young people’s meaningful participation in peace and security efforts globally and locally. The Coalition started out as the Working Group on Youth and Peace Building in 2012.
