Closing remarks
"Let's see youth as they are today. Youth, learn from experiences of those senior to you. Partner with those who walk the talk me be mindful of those who only talk the talk." @RewanYoussif
"FGM, ECM, SGBV impede effective youth participation. These all compromise the opportunities for their respective career advancement." @RewanYoussif #1mBy2021 #Agenda4Children #DAC2021
Dr Addai @UNICEF_AUOffice encourages youth to consider the economic benefits of the arts. #DAC2021 #Agenda4Children
Dr Addai on the use of creative arts to eliminate harmful practices
"the creative element of the human being is something that needs to be consistely harnessed. As we pursue STEM advancements we need to be deliberate in pursuing the arts as well"
@UNICEF_AUOffice #DAC2021
"It's imperative to use digital media platforms to engage with each other and co-create on decisions and solutions to end harmful practices" - Moses Uyang #1mBy2021 #DAC2021 #Agenda4Children
Moses Uyang speaks of youth involvement in eliminating harmful practices and says "young people have a role to play by taking responsibilities of the harmful practices at hand. We need see it as our responsibility, to build #TheAfricaWeWant"
"We need to adjust the lens through which we view young people, youth know what is best for them and we need to be careful not to resort to tokenism and call that meaningful participation" - @RewanYoussif

Hon. Sidikou from @acerwc details the progress of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child
"It has been ratified by 50 out of 55 countries. A lot of these countries have laws in place that protect the child from harm"
#1mBy2021 #Agenda4Children #DAC2021
4. Action space - we need young people to do things with all they know and learn
#1mBy2021 #DAC2021 #Agenda4Children
The 5 spaces where youth are found
1. No space - we need to bring them into the empathy space. They must care about Africa
2. Understanding space - get them to ask why things are happening so they can research
3. Solutions space - we need youth contributing to Africa's solutions
Dr Addai gets us into the Q&A round and he speaks of the importance of passing down knowledge from senior leaders to the youth.
"When young people converse, things change"
