Global Partnership for the Youth Peace and Security Agenda

The Youth Café recently won a position to co-chair the Knowledge mobilization sector of this coalition as solutions for sustainable peace are generated. Knowledge mobilization will include a lot of data collection and report writing necessary to gear attention of key stakeholders. We are excited about the possibilities of this coalition in implementing the global peace agenda and in sharing information and decision making with the US Congress. It is imperative that donors, policy makers, institutions of higher learning and youth leaders come together to drive the global peace agenda forward.
