The Youth Cast will be a vibrant youth-powered platform that seeks to give young people (18-24 years) a voice to engage meaningfully as partners in key decision-making processes on issues that affect them, by 2025.
The Youth Cast will bring together diverse minds of young people to engage in intellectual conversations and brainstorm on what can help them to elevate their careers and general livelihoods.
The outcomes, intended to be policy papers and youth manifestoes, will inform different programs and policies directed towards supporting the youth in Rwanda and influence those in power to put young people at the forefront of development.
