LESSON

Lesson Learned: Promoting Youth Participation through Development Policy in Burkina Faso

The establishment of an institutional consultation strategy between the project and institutional, social and international stakeholders has emerged as a key element to optimize resources, avoid redundancies and strengthen coordination. This approach, which encourages collaboration and close communication with various stakeholders, should be actively promoted in all projects to maximize the impact and sustainability of interventions.

Project Description
This project aims to both increase citizen participation of young people in the electoral process and implement the formulation and monitoring of public policies in seven municipalities in Burkina Faso. Advocacy and a series of awareness-raising actions will allow the establishment of at least seven local networks dedicated to the promotion of citizen participation of youth at the level of decision-making bodies. These actions will also lead public authorities to take formal measures in response to the demands formulated by young people. Project activities integrate actions in response to the Covid-19 crisis and its various implications for youth.
