“The youth in the IGAD region are not merely passive participants in the digital revolution; rather, they are the driving force behind it. Their adept use of technology to confront global challenges and champion sustainable development is commendable.
Their trailblazing ideas and digital prowess have played a pivotal role in addressing issues such as climate change, advancing green technologies, and fostering economic resilience.
It is with great pride that the IGAD region acknowledges and actively supports these endeavors, recognising the importance of involving young people in shaping policies and initiatives that are instrumental in creating a brighter future for all.”
