The 3rd Election Bridge Academy, Mombasa, Kenya

de Cynthia Chigwenya

Training a New Generation of Young African Leaders.

This year’s E-lection Bridge Academy, held from 15 – 19 April, welcomed 18 young politicians from both ruling and opposition parties to Kenya’s second largest city, Mombasa. A key feature of the programme were guest lectures, including one by the United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) Regional Electoral Advisor, Robert Gerenge and Kenya’s former Deputy Minister of ICT, Innovations & Youth, Nadia Abdallah Ahmed. The participants used the training for networking and to exchange experiences in their professional pursuits and political careers. The Election Bridge Academy plays a vital role in establishing a network of like-minded youth leaders who are politically astute and trained to uphold democratic principles in their constituencies and the continent, overall.
