Generating a reflection on youth role in decision-making processes, reinforcing their responsibility and capacity to jointly act and influence upon public decision-making bodies and boosting their self-confidence in promoting new leadership models are key entry points of the proposed action which aims to catalyze a tangible and long lasting institutional change for an effective inclusion of young men and women in political, civic and economic life.  Youth is an underpinning pillar to the consolidation of peace and meaningful democratic participation in Guinea-Bissau. With this premise, the project aims to strengthen the role and leadership of youth to enhance their inclusion in and influence on democratic development and peacebuilding processes in Guinea-Bissau.
