Youth Model Parliament: Empowering Zimbabwe’s Future Leaders
The launch of the Youth Model Parliament, led by the Parliament Youth Caucus, whose Chairperson is Hon Stanley Sakupwanya at Mount Hampden, marks a significant milestone in promoting youth participation and empowerment in Zimbabwe’s governance processes. This innovative initiative provides a platform for young people to engage in democratic processes, develop leadership skills, and contribute to policy-making. By simulating parliamentary proceedings, participants will gain hands-on experience in debating, negotiation, and decision-making.
The Parliament Youth Caucus’s efforts to promote youth inclusion and representation in Zimbabwe’s political landscape are commendable. This initiative aligns with the government’s vision to increase youth participation in governance and decision-making processes.
As Zimbabwe strives to build a more inclusive and participatory democracy, the Youth Model Parliament serves as a beacon of hope for the country’s future. It is essential to continue supporting and empowering young people to take an active role in shaping Zimbabwe’s future.
This is in line with the President His Excellency Cde Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa’s efforts to ensure youth representation.
