A two-day national youth forum for justice, titled "Zaikaben'Ny Tanora Ho An'Ny Fahitsiana," is set to commence today at the University of Antananarivo in Madagascar. The event, organized by the Committee for the Promotion of Justice (CSI) with support from the International Organization of La Francophonie (OIF) and the Swiss Confederation, aims to bring together young people from across the island nation. The forum is part of the "Fight against corruption through education and youth" project.
The forum seeks to empower young people to utilize their creative potential and engage in promoting a culture of justice, transparency, and civic responsibility. Participants will engage in discussions, debates, and sharing of experiences to foster greater awareness and commitment to justice. The event will feature speakers from various sectors, including Razafimandimby Tsiry, the Secretary General of CSI, and artist Randriamasinoro Herinaino (Gothlieb).
The forum will provide a platform for young people aged 18-35 from different regions of Madagascar to come together and share their perspectives on the challenges of justice in the country. Participants will be involved in group work and will contribute to the development of proposals and recommendations. They will also collaborate on a "manifesto" on civic engagement and responsibility.
To ensure the active participation of the selected youth, organizers have made arrangements for their transportation, accommodation, and meals during the forum. The event is expected to enhance the capacities of the participants and promote a culture of accountability and transparency.
The forum is taking place against the backdrop of a recent Council of Ministers meeting, which approved the establishment of a "Haut commissariat de la jeunesse en charge de l'engagement citoyen et de la lute contre la corruption" (High Commission for Youth in charge of civic engagement and the fight against corruption). This development underscores the government's commitment to engaging citizens, particularly young people, in the fight against corruption.
The "Zaikaben'Ny Tanora Ho An'Ny Fahitsiana" forum is an initiative that aligns with the government's efforts to promote civic engagement and accountability. By providing a platform for young people to express their views and contribute to the development of solutions, the event aims to foster a sense of ownership and responsibility among participants.
The two-day forum will feature interactive sessions, including debates, discussions, and sharing of experiences. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with speakers from various sectors and to contribute to the development of proposals and recommendations. The event is expected to conclude with a renewed commitment to promoting justice, transparency, and civic responsibility in Madagascar.
