Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Institute for Multi-Party Democracy (IMD), through its Women\u2019s Political Academy, wants youth and women\u2019s branches of the Mozambican political parties with seats in parliament to create synergies that enable their greater representation in political bodies and democratically elected institutions.<\/p>\n

The measure aims to create space for these organizations to be able to influence the development of a national agenda in favor of youth and women.<\/p>\n

The position was expressed by IMD Project Manager, Elisa Muianga, in Maputo, during the \u201cIntergenerational Political Caf\u00e9\u201d between the female and youth branches of the political parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite being a significant part of the population, young people have not been proportionally represented in decision-making bodies, which means that their interests are not considered. The situation is even more serious when it comes to the representation of youth in democratically elected institutions\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cData from the last general population census (2017) indicate that about 79% of the Mozambican population is below the age of 35\u201d, added Muianga. \u201cBut youth representation is not only disproportionately low, it is also on a downward trend, which calls into question inclusive and participatory democracy\u201d.<\/p>\n

Among the problems that are symptomatic in the youth stratum are the high rate of unemployment, housing issues, the failure of employers to hire young graduates, drug and alcohol consumption, as well as the scourges of HIV and AIDS, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is pertinent to jointly reflect on the paths that young people, in political parties, can take and what synergies can be made in order to improve their quantitative and qualitative representativeness in elected democratic institutions\u201d, continued Muianga.<\/p>\n

The inter-generational political caf\u00e9 between female and youth branches of political parties was organized, a few days ago, by the IMD, in coordination with the National Youth Council (CNJ), as part of the commemoration of Youth Week.<\/p>\n
