The African Youth and Governance Conference,
Accra 2009 was anchored on three pillars namely Youth Policy, Youth
Participation and Empowerment and Youth
Mobilisation (positive and negative). The 3 Pillars informed
deliberations throughout the conference and action points were
developed along these lines. Delegates chose their
Pillars of interest and were further divided into smaller working
groups to discuss regions specific issues and develop workable
solutions to them.
The groups met after
deliberations to present a common paper during the plenary sessions.
The plenary sessions afforded delegates the opportunity to listen to
outcomes of deliberations from other pillars which they were not privy
to. This ensured that each delegate was well informed about the
proceedings of the conference.Speakers and
facilitators were culled from organizations and individuals with
diverse backgrounds. Realizing Rights (USA) handled issues bordering on
employability and decent work, UNFPA was responsible for sexual
reproductive rights, gender mainstreaming and youth participation in
national politics. The Ghana Centre for Democratic Development
(CDD-Ghana) coordinated and facilitated aspects of governance and
policy and was assisted by the Commission for Human Rights and
Administrative Justice and the Federation of Youth Associations of
Ghana (FEDYAG). In addition to these major facilitating organizations
were individuals with diverse backgrounds and expertise ranging from
law to policy and governance.
