Why should young people engage?

The IPAD Youth Forum provides an opportunity for young people to move beyond general political discussions and put real-life youth challenges directly on the table.

• Students studying abroad.

• National Service personnel wondering what comes next.

Young graduates entering a difficult labour market.

• Women navigating employment and gender-related challenges.

• Young people interested in rural development and agriculture.

Ghanaians in the diaspora trying to remain connected to national development.

• This is an opportunity to ask questions, share experiences and hear directly from someone with experience in business, international affairs, diaspora advocacy and Ghanaian politics.

Your experience matters. Your questions matter. Your voice matters.
