Addis Ababa, May 11 (IANS): United Nations (UN) experts and officials have called for new policy approaches that place social inclusion, resilience and regional integration at the heart of Africa's development strategies to overcome inequalities, youth unemployment and accelerating climate threats.

They made the call at a high-level global policy dialogue, themed "Africa's Development Pathways in a Fragmenting World," which was convened by UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, in collaboration with the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) on Friday in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa.

Testimonials

 

Maingi Kinuthia

Participating in the code for democracy was more than a hackathon project; it was a masterclass in human-centered design.
It bridged the gap between passion and policy. As a young tech innovator, I didn’t just design and code; I sat at the table with policymakers and saw our prototype become part of the national conversation. This program, thanks to the vision of the Nuru Trust Network, is essential—it proves that youth aren’t just the future of democracy, we are its present engine of renewal.”

Joy Njeri

It’s been such a privilege to be part of the Code for Democracy Hackathon! Making it through the first stage and securing second place has reminded me that you don’t have to be an expert to make a real impact — just willing to learn, build, and collaborate.

The biggest takeaway for me has been learning how to move from ideation to implementation— turning ideas into something tangible. Working in a 4-person team has been such a ride, and I’m super grateful for my teammates’ support during the toughest moments.

Huge shoutout to the mentors and facilitators for constantly looking out for us and making the journey smoother. Can’t wait to see where this experience takes all of us next! 🤗

Yvonne Abungu

As an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya, I never imagined that one day I would find myself in the tech space, creating innovations that seek to enhance democracy for our people, for Africans, and for the world.

Being part of the Code for Democracy Program 2025 by Nuru Trust has made me reflect deeply on the power of my voice as a young person. I have realized that I am not too small to make change, big change.

The program has inspired my colleagues and me to draw strength and ideas both from within and beyond our borders. We’ve looked at how countries like Rwanda rebuilt the fabric of their society through community feedback using the Ubudehe system, and how Liberia courageously leveraged technology to fight the Ebola crisis.

Here in Kenya, Nuru Trust is challenging us to innovate, to think differently, and to provide homegrown solutions for our communities.

I am deeply grateful to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

To the youth, if not us, then who?

Trevor Tuja

Seeing the youth come together, and put this much effort into creating solutions that are very much needed in our country, is both inspiring and empowering.
I am honored to be among such talented and driven peers; Bringing to life our shared vision of democracy.
