GLYNDP National Multi-Stakeholder Conference
The National Multi-stakeholders’ conference of the “Great Lakes Youth Network for Dialogue and Peace” project will provide a platform for participating youth initiatives to advocate for their needs, become visible, and foster dialogue around youth challenges.
The conference envisions bridging communication gaps, creating contact, and fostering closer cooperation between youth initiatives, government, private sector, and international organizations for stability and peace.
The GLYNDP project was co-funded by the European Union and Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS). The project is implemented by KAS and its five local partner organizations in four countries of the Great Lakes Region.
LéO Africa Institute and Cornerstone Development Africa are the local implementing partners in Uganda. Together, the partners and KAS want to present the project to a broader audience and important stakeholders.
