MAU had the chance of attending a conference on National Conference on Youth, Peace and Security hosted by the Ministry of Women and Social Affairs (MOWSA) and UNFPA, focusing on the role of youth in peacebuilding and security. Key speakers, including H.E Muna Ahmed (State Minister of Youth, MoWSA), emphasized the importance of involving youth in policymaking, creating job opportunities, and empowering them to participate in peace efforts. Mr. Koffi Kouname (UN Representative) highlighted youth as agents of change, aligning with UNSCR 2250, which acknowledges their role in global peace initiatives.
Theophilus Ekpon from UNFPA gave us an overview about youth peace and security, while Abiy Hailemelekot pointed out Ethiopia’s youthful population.
We concluded the National Conference on Youth, Peace, and Security with a panel on Ethiopia’s current and future peace and security trends. Special thanks to MoWSA and UNFPA for supporting meaningful youth participation in shaping sustainable peace policies.
