“I particularly call upon youth organizations and networks to work through a harmonized approach. Our influence is weakened when messages are fragmented, duplicated or presented through competing platforms. Let us coordinate across regions, sectors and institutions, reconcile different perspectives, use credible evidence, and speak with a coherent national voice.”
Mr. Francis Opolot,
Assistant Commissioner @CCD_UG
