We were honored to have Dr. Charity Dzradozi, a Research Fellow at the Institute of Local Governance, as our resource person at our recent civic engagement training. Dr. Dzradozi provided valuable insights into the structure of the District Assembly, focusing on the roles and responsibilities of DCEs and Assembly Members. She emphasized the importance of youth engagement at the local level for driving community development. As Dr. Dzradozi stated, "When looking at governance, we should start from the bottom up, not the other way around." To ensure accountability, we must actively engage with our local representatives, ask for feedback, and regularly visit the district assembly. #CivicEngagement #LocalGovernment #YouthEmpowerment #CommunityDevelopment #Ghana #Accountability

Ghana's youth make up more than 35% of the total population, meaning over one-third of our nation's strength rests on our shoulders. Yet, during critical moments like elections, only a small fraction of us actively participate—not because we're ineligible to vote, but because many have consciously chosen not to. This is a missed opportunity. Our voice has the power to make a significant difference CDD-Ghana - Ghana Center for Democratic Development #CommunityAccountabilityForum #iamaware #civicengagement #CommunityBasedCivicEngagement

Similar to how we have government representatives at the Assembly, we should consider having a dedicated youth representative. Additionally, we could introduce legislation to support the youth in the same way that the Affirmative Action Law supports women CDD-Ghana - Ghana Center for Democratic Development #CommunityAccountabilityForum #iamaware #civicengagement #CommunityBasedCivicEngagement
