Cérémonie de clôture et remise des certificats des formations jeunes et femmes du Projet WYDE

WYDE Political Parties

Clap de fin pour les remises de certificats WYDE Political Parties. Ces dernières semaines, la Fondation Konrad Adenauer (KAS), avec le soutien de l’Union européenne (UE) et en coordination avec l’ENoP, a célébré la réussite de plusieurs dizaines de jeunes et de femmes engagés dans la vie politique en Côte d’Ivoire. Nous avons été à Man le 26 juillet, Bouaké le 28 juillet et Abidjan le 02 septembre pour la remise des certificats et la clôture du programme de formation. Ces cérémonies marquent la fin d’un parcours de formation dédié à renforcer la participation des jeunes et des femmes dans les partis politiques, à travers des ateliers pratiques sur la gouvernance démocratique, le dialogue multipartite, la communication et le plaidoyer, ainsi que la transparence et la responsabilité politique. Ces moments forts témoignent d’un engagement collectif pour une démocratie plus inclusive et participative en Côte d’Ivoire. Un grand merci à tous nos partenaires, aux autorités locales et surtout aux participants, véritables acteurs du changement.
