Op 7 juni 2023 woonde onze collega bij NIMD Uganda, Angella Kemirembe, de inaugurele Uganda Democracy Academy Fellowship bij, georganiseerd door NIMD Uganda. Het evenement bracht meer dan 80 jonge leiders van verschillende politieke partijen, jeugdliga's en op jongeren gerichte organisaties in Oeganda samen. In onderstaand artikel deelt ze haar observaties met ons.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

De beurs van de Academie voor democratie<\/a> is een programma van zes maanden dat tot doel heeft jonge individuen mondiger te maken en hun leiderschapsvaardigheden, politieke kennis en maatschappelijke betrokkenheid te vergroten. De deelnemers zijn afkomstig van politieke partijen en verschillende jeugdliga's in het land.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

De focus van de eerste sessie in juni lag op het versterken van de economische, politieke en sociale banden tussen de landen in de regio. De fellows waren allemaal enthousiast over de rol van jongeren bij het bevorderen van regionale integratie in Oost-Afrika.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Voordelen van regionale integratie<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tijdens het fellowship verdiepten de deelnemers zich in de verschillende voordelen van samenwerking tussen buurlanden. Door middel van inzichtelijke discussies en casestudy's zagen de fellows het potentieel voor gedeelde groei, meer handel en verbeterde politieke stabiliteit dat regionale integratie biedt. Het was inspirerend om te leren hoe onze gezamenlijke inspanningen de weg zouden kunnen effenen voor een welvarender en harmonieuzer Oost-Afrika. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oegandees advocaat, politicus en diplomaat Amanya Mushega modereerde de sessie. Hij benadrukte de cruciale rol van jongeren als drijvende kracht achter positieve verandering in onze gemeenschappen. Hij moedigde de fellows aan om actief bij te dragen aan het integratieproces en ervoor te zorgen dat wetten en beleid op dit gebied rekening houden met hun belangen. Een belangrijke kwestie die werd besproken was de noodzaak om de verspreide munteenheden in Oost-Afrika te verenigen om het zakendoen te vergemakkelijken en de handel binnen het gebied te bevorderen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Om als Oost-Afrika succesvol te integreren, moeten we middelen samenbrengen om te overleven. We moeten ons afvragen hoe we onze verspreide valuta's bij elkaar kunnen brengen. Zolang de grenzen blijven bestaan, zullen we geen integratie bereiken.\" <\/span><\/i>Amanya Mushega <\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Uitdagingen<\/strong><\/h3>\n

De deelnemers en de moderator erkenden dat regionale integratie ook te maken heeft met tal van uitdagingen, waaronder politieke verschillen, conflicten tussen lidstaten, economische ongelijkheid, ontoereikende infrastructuur, onevenwichtigheden in de handel en een zwakke institutionele capaciteit. Om deze hindernissen te overwinnen, benadrukte Amanya Mushega het belang om politieke banden opzij te zetten en samen te werken voor de groei van Oeganda en het bereiken van regionale integratie. Hij benadrukte de kracht van dialoog, actief luisteren en respectvolle betrokkenheid bij het bereiken van consensus als eerste stap naar regionale eenheid en kracht. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Eenheid is kracht. Die moeten we koesteren. Hoe meer we als regio verenigd zijn, hoe sterker we zullen zijn.\" <\/span><\/i>Amanya Mushega <\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

De fellowship benadrukte ook de benarde situatie van familieleden die als 'vluchteling' worden geclassificeerd in buurlanden, ook al hebben ze banden met de regio. Deze kwestie onderstreept de noodzaak van een meer inclusieve en empathische benadering van regionale integratie. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Netwerken<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Een van de belangrijkste resultaten van het fellowship was de mogelijkheid voor Oegandese jongeren om in contact te komen met een breder netwerk van jonge leiders. Dit platform stelt de fellows in staat om ervaringen, beste praktijken en innovatieve idee\u00ebn uit te wisselen en zo eenheid en collectieve actie te bevorderen. Gewapend met nieuwe kennis en motivatie zijn de fellows nu in staat om te pleiten voor jeugdbeleid en invloed uit te oefenen op besluitvormingsprocessen.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

De sessie werd afgesloten met inspirerende discussies over hoe de fellows kunnen samenwerken tussen verschillende politieke partijen om te pleiten voor regionale integratie in Oost-Afrika. Sommige deelnemers erkenden dat het belangrijk is om eerst de interne verschillen binnen Oeganda aan te pakken om een meer verenigd front te vormen.<\/span><\/span> Ik weet zeker dat de gesprekken zullen doorgaan. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ik kijk uit naar de volgende sessie.<\/span><\/p>\n
