EYE ON WEST AFRICA (28th May - 7th June) - mailchi.mp/104de71a90e1/eye-…

" The future of democracy in West Africa depends on the next generation's ability to seize this period of democratic backsliding as an opportunity to build more resilient, inclusive, and effective democratic systems." @ChrisFomunyoh @NDI #NextGenReform @WADEMOSnetwork @JMeledi

#NextGenReform- @WADEMOSnetwork & @NDI Panel 1: " Youth Resiliency and Agency in West Africa’s Challenging Democratic Landscape." This discussion with @ChrisFomunyoh, @addovera... is focusing on the state of youth engagement in the democratic transformation of West Africa.

“The engagement of African youth has never waned. It is often their democratic aspirations that are taken away from them. A country like #Senegal is the perfect example in this regard,” Prof. Jibrin Ibrahim, #CDDNigeria @CDDWestAfrica #NextGenReform @WADEMOSnetwork @JareTiamiyu

The daily struggles that youth face across West Africa aren't abstract. They're about jobs, opportunities, and human dignity. True change happens when we turn to collection action. Day 1 of the Next Gen in Reform will seek to deconstruct how to achieve such collection action, build alliances while underscoring youth agency within Africa's democratic landscape. #NextGenReform #NextGeninReform

In a few minutes we kickstart the Next Gen in Reform Symposium, which takes place from June 2-4, 2026.

We are excited to welcome a distinguished lineup of speakers and facilitators who will lead conversations and share insights on democratic reform, civic engagement, and youth participation across the region.
