Training Manual PROMOTING YOUTH LEADERSHIP IN DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE

As a result of these contributions and efforts, a strong foundation for youth participation was developed. Still, despite their efforts and past involvement in public life, today Rwandan youth struggle to influence policymakers and have access to opportunities to participate in decision-making.
