I raised a question on improving data collection for WPS and YPS to better track progress and the importance of strengthening coordination. I also highlighted the relatively low level of awareness of #WPS and #YPS within #academia and the need to extend our engagement/advocacy.

I think one of the challenges of this generation is that we have begun to equate #success with #money and instant gratification. If we diminish professions that shape minds and societies, what does that say about our value system? We really need to rethink what success means.

Given that it was an all-girls school, I focused on the importance of girl-child education and how education empowers girls to participate meaningfully in leadership, governance and national development. I also introduced them to the 17 SDGs and how they can advance the goals.

A New Year means new possibilities, new strength, and new chances to win. Set your goals clearly, work toward them daily, and don’t be discouraged by setbacks. Progress comes from persistence, not perfection. Keep showing up, keep believing, and keep moving forward. #NewYear2026

Did You Know? On 9 December 2015, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2250, the first-ever global policy framework that formally recognised young people as critical actors in peace and security. Happy 10 Years of UNSCR 2250. #Youth4Peace #UNSCR2250 #Yes4YPS

Over the past ten years, UNSCR 2250 has reshaped how the world understands youth leadership. It has given youth-led organisations, especially across Africa, the global visibility and legitimacy they long deserved.

As we step into the next decade of YPS, may we continue to amplify youth voices, strengthen youth leadership, and co-create a future where peace is inclusive, just, and sustainable.
