Young people, particularly those from marginalised groups, are systematically underrepresented in public affairs, including in parliaments, political parties and at the ballot boxes. To address this, we launched the WYDE Accountability Hubs to empower the next generation of African leaders with strong skills in accountable and transparent governance. ✔ Show your support for these young leaders' challenging and important work by liking this post or sharing it with your network! #WYDECivicEngagement #EUFunded #WYDE #Accountability #YDC --- WYDE Accountability Hubs is jointly organized by the Kofi Annan Foundation, The Oslo Center, and the Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD), with the support of Accountability Lab. Accountability Hubs is part of the WYDE Civic Engagement project by the European Partnership for Democracy (EPD) and Youth Democracy Cohort. ⚡ Powered by the European Union.
