This participants’ manual will assist participants in following the sessions related to the African Governance Architecture (AGA) capacity-building training of trainers’ program for youth participation in political and electoral processes. The participant manual also provides information on methodologies and strategies to be adopted during training sessions. The youth needs to note that training content for youth participation must be context-specific. The content of this manual must be adjusted to the local, social, geographical, cultural, and political circumstances, and there is no standard training methodology and approach that can be replicated everywhere on the continent.
Following a clarion call by the youth during the 2021 African Governance Architecture (AGA) Regional Youth Consultations, the AGA under the auspices of the AGA Youth Engagement Strategy spearheaded the development of a Comprehensive Guide and Facilitator and Participants Manuals on Youth Participation in Political and Electoral Processes in Africa. The Guide and accompanying Manuals were developed in collaboration with the Common Market for East and Southern Africa Secretariat (COMESA) with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation- SDC. The manuals underwent a painstaking research, review, and validation process with the full involvement of youth leaders and experts across the five regions of the continent.
