Dr. Deo Mwapinga

Office this Week: Was hosted by the ICGLR Forum of Parliaments @FPCIRGL for the meeting of women Parliamentarians in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. I spoke on the subject of youth contributions to regional peace and sustainable regional youth institutions in the Great Lakes Region. In my remarks, I intimated how functionality in regional institutions rides on the efficiency of constituent national structures. The challenge as I put it to them, is for parliaments of our 12 countries to view youth contribution as a responsibility to establish and fund National Youth structures first. I thank the leadership of my elder brother Amb. Deo Mwapinga @dmwaps the SG of the Forum of Parliaments on the convening and the leaderships of our Parliaments Including the Rt. Hon Jacob Oboth Oboth @ObothOboth who attended and opened this conference. On behalf of the ICGLR Regional Youth Forum @ICGLRyouth, we look forward to continuing our strides of faith in the ability of young people in the region to divorce their future from the quarrels of their differing ancestries. @UNFPA_ESARO @_ICGLR_ @adoniaayebare @UgandaMFA
