GloMeF, partners design adolescent manifesto to tackle emerging needs of young people

The Global Media Foundation (GloMeF) and its partner NGOs are designing an adolescent manifesto to help address emerging challenges confronting the adolescents in the Sunyani and Sunyani West Municipalities under the implementation of their Resilient City for Adolescent (RCA) Project.

In an interview with Sompa FM on the sidelines of the meeting in Sunyani, Mr Simon Asore, the Executive Director of the Citizens Watch Ghana (CWG), the project implementation partner explained the meeting sought to gather and table the challenges facing the adolescent.

Mr Asore explained that the identified challenges would be put together for a stakeholder engagement in find lasting solutions to those challenges.

Master Daniel Sarkodie-Frimpong, the Speaker of the Sunyani Adolescent Parliament set up by the project expressed the worry that the adolescents were always neglected in decision making processes by the various Municipal Assemblies.

For Ms Abigail Kyeremaah, the Member of the Adolescent Parliament (MP) for the Sunyani Area Two, the Municipal Assemblies did not listen to and address the emerging concerns of the adolescents in the area.
