Beneficiaries of the Young and Safe Project in Ghana have praised the initiative for significantly enhancing their confidence and empowering them to participate in community governance, leading to calls for its extension. The project, which focuses on youth empowerment and safety, has been implemented in several regions.
According to verified reports, the Young and Safe Project is a youth-focused program run in partnership with local organizations and international bodies like the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). It aims to equip young people with skills and knowledge to advocate for their rights and safety.
Participants have reported that the project's workshops and training sessions have been instrumental in building their leadership capabilities. Community leaders have noted increased youth involvement in local decision-making forums since the project's inception.
The call for an extension comes as the current phase of the project is scheduled to conclude. Advocates argue that continued support is necessary to sustain the gains made and expand the program's reach to more young people across the country.
