📢 Training of Young Political Leaders in Côte d’Ivoire

Youth engagement in political life is essential for the strengthening of democracy and inclusive governance. In Côte d’Ivoire, where young people make up a significant portion of the population, they continue to face barriers to participation in political decision-making. This training program aims to equip 20 young political leaders (men and women aged 18–35) from Côte d’Ivoire with the knowledge and skills necessary to play a more active and effective role within their parties and the wider democratic process.

Organized under the WYDE Political Parties project and implemented by the Institute for Governance and Development (IGD) in partnership with the Swedish Centre Party International Foundation (CIS), this training is led by the Réseau européen des fondations politiques (ENoP) and powered by the Union Européenne. It is part of a broader effort to foster a new generation of politically engaged youth capable of leading with integrity, inclusivity, and a strong understanding of democratic values.

The training includes the following thematic modules:

• Political Leadership

• Electoral Processes and Democracy

• Political and Media Communication

• Political Ideologies

Through a participatory methodology that combines theoretical learning, group work, role-playing, and expert exchanges, the program will provide participants with both conceptual knowledge and practical tools to enhance their political impact.
