How Can We Get More Young People To Register As Voters.

Acknowledging the dire need for increased youth participation in the electoral process, The Youth Café has been working on ways to get more young people to register as voters. Research by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), shows that the youth could be largely categorized in three distinct demographics, classified according to age; with the first demographic being young people aged between 18-24 years, then 25-29 years and 30-35 years. Each of these key demographics will require a different approach to get them to register as voters.

Youth-Inclusion In The ‘Silencing The Gun’ Initiative Of The African Union (A.U)

The growing momentum for the push towards inclusive peace and security matters by the United Nations marked through the passing of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2050 on Youth, Peace, and Security in 2015, has seen the efforts in Africa to include young people in the ‘Silencing the Guns’ initiative. The UNSCR 2050 affirms the positive role young men and women play in maintaining and promoting international peace and security and in building and advancing peace and security in their own countries.
