The KAS Zimbabwe Office convened a panel discussion on the Youth Quota at the Ideas Festival (IF) which was hosted by Heart and Soul Television at Troutbeck Hotel in Nyanga from the 22nd to the 24th of November 2023. The IF creates a circle of highly networked people to share insights on topical economic and political developments. The KAS panel discussed the youth quota, a constitutional provision which came into effect after the Zimbabwe General Elections in August 2023. The panel consisted of the Youth Quota MP for Manicaland Honourable Stan Sakupwanya, the Youth Women’s Quota MP from Manicaland, Honourable Amanda Chakukura, the Pan African Coordinator for the International Movement of Catholic Students, Pardingtone Nhundu and KAS Project Coordinator Dino Ndlovu. The panel had fruitful debates on how the youth quota can strengthen the participation of youths within political parties and in the broader political space. Speaking at the event, KAS Programme Manager, Goodhope Ruswa noted, “This panel is one of many platforms we offer to encourage continuous dialogue among political actors to foster democratic consolidation, peace and freedom”.
