The WYDE Civic Engagement Youth Advisory Board is the highest youth engagement body in the project. Its members are young beneficiaries from our activities, recruited for a one-year mandate to advise the management team, take part in the steering committees with the European Commission and occasionally represent the project in external events.
Victor Kipkorir, a dynamic and accomplished Kenyan political scientist, was one of the ten esteemed members of the Regional Accountability Hubs in Anglophone Africa, under the WYDE Civic Engagement project in 2023/2024. With a strong commitment to fostering youth empowerment and democratic values, Victor serves as the Secretary General of the national Youth League of the Forum for Restoration of Democracy (FORD-Kenya Party). His experiences and profound understanding of political dynamics, coupled with his desire to shape a more democratic space, make him a valuable asset to this Youth Advisory Board. Victor’s expertise in strategic planning and his dedication to promoting accountability will undoubtedly contribute to the success of the program, shaping a brighter democratic future in the region.
The Youth Advisory Board is the main component of the youth engagement strategy of the project, ensuring that young people have a say in the implementation of the project.
