Many developing countries, particularly those in Africa, have a youthful population. What that means is that, young people of voting age constitute a significant proportion of the population &#8211; too significant to be ignored or to choose not to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As such, it is important to create awareness among young people to inform them about the importance of political participation and how they can contribute to the political ecosystem in a way that allows them to actively shape the space that works well for the greater good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe that young people have the skills, knowledge, and interest to participate in political space. Young people equally need the support and mentoring from experienced persons who can share with them valuable lessons needed to navigate a rather important but challenging space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an area I hope to contribute to, through research and project interventions (hopefully). I hope to use my research to bring to the fore issues of importance to young people. For this research, I hope to focus on the cost of politics for young people in Ghana.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Personality Obaa admires <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/youthdemocracycohort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Trevor-Noah-Obaa.png\" alt=\"Trevor Noah\" class=\"wp-image-4684\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:250px;height:250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/youthdemocracycohort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Trevor-Noah-Obaa.png 1024w, https:\/\/youthdemocracycohort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Trevor-Noah-Obaa-322x322.png 322w, https:\/\/youthdemocracycohort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Trevor-Noah-Obaa-161x161.png 161w, https:\/\/youthdemocracycohort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Trevor-Noah-Obaa-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">I admire <strong>Trevor Noah<\/strong>.
