We Are Introducing to You “WEST NILE YOUTH REGEN” Organisation. What it is all about and what it intends to offer.

West Nile transformation greatly depends on a healthy empowered youth population.

The region is currently faced with challenges such as high school dropouts, high dependency levels, unemployment, teenage pregnancies, lack of youth friendly health services and skills' gap. We shall though our works put emphasis on Gender based violence and gender inclusion

These among others directly or indirectly undermine the productivity of the youth who should be at the forefront of transforming the region.

Across the region there is a great need to consolidate the democratic gains as given to us by the government and encourage further progress. An engaged citizenry and a robust civil society are essential for both purposes. In sum, the convergence of demographic, economic and political trends in the region makes investment in youth mobilization—and youth civic engagement in particular—a logical choice for us.

Leaving the youth of West Nile in their current state of hopelessness could result in significant opportunity costs in terms of the political violence and social instability, fueled by pervasive poverty, illiteracy and inequality. Instead, civic engagement opportunities will empower and provide them with a sense of responsibility and possibility that is a prerequisite for their becoming active participants in their own development, as well as that of their societies.

Mobilization through Civic engagement will help cultivate the human and social capital of young people in both political ‘non-political’ forms and it will help change the West Nile political trends of recent years to be in our favour.

Civic engagement will educate young people about their rights and responsibilities as citizens and channel their energy into positive avenues within our political frameworks.

By enabling young people to participate in the public sphere, civic engagement will foster a political culture of tolerance and social engagement, producing young people with informed and responsible notions of citizenship that will last for their lives and that of their generation.

There is a great and effective work to be done for West Nile youth generation to make them feel empowered and train them to play an important role in changing their society for the better under your stewardship.

How shall we do this?

The initiative  is designed in way that it provides gender awareness, leadership, and advocacy  directly benefiting youths.

We shall start the regional initiative with an “asset mapping” exercise. Here a process of inquiry that provides an overview of existing conditions, highlighting strengths and revealing gaps will be conducted to help us better package our selves for mobilization, Advocacy and Re assurance. This will be a unique exercise for every structural cluster.

The project will adapt a cultural sensitive strategy, where all the activities will be planned and conducted in a way that the negative impacts will be avoided. Youths will be the target and they will be reached during the course of this project. Based on my observations, our society is now ready to accept that youths are an important part of the society. The project will take advantage of this new emerging feeling of the society and build upon the concept that this is the time where West Nile youths must play a great contribution to bring prosperity to the their region getting the facts right and detesting from being used my mushrooming political "clubs" that have no factual and feasible manifesto but rather boast of preaching a hate gospel amongst the youths for their own selfish interests.
