WORLD'S YOUNG MP'S MEETS TO TACKLE CONFLICT AND ECONOMIC CRISIS


 
Owen Mwandumbya, Tokyo, Japan
 
More than 200 young MPs from around the world, are gathered in Tokyo Japan from 27 and 28 May, 2015 to attending the IPU Global Conference of Young Parliamentarians at the Japanese Parliament, organized by the Inter–Parliamentary Union and the National Diet of Japan, aiming at identifying solutions to key global issues that impact heavily on youth particularly economic crisis.
 
The Conference is an annual global youth-led political platform to define policies and action to tackle the challenges faced by young people in the world who represents more than 60% population of the world which are the youth.
 
The focus of this Tokyo conference is on democracy, Peace and prosperity whereby statistics show that young people are suffering a disproportionate and worsening impact in the global financial and economic crisis, and are significantly more likely than the rest of the adult population to be unemployed.
 
Among the attendee is the Tanzania delegation of four young MPs from Bunge namely Hon. David kafulila, Hon. Ester Bulaya, Hon. Godfrey Mgimwa and Hon. Neema Mgaya who also shared some practical experience from Tanzania on the best way of involving young people in peace building in the region:
 
Stressing on the issue Migration as the result of conflict and Violence, Hon. Kafulila, said, Africa is the most venerable continent and in so doing, Tanzania has managed to establish an exchange programs with youth from neighboring countries which mostly suffer from these conflict so that they can learn and engaged themselves in peace building by advocating democracy in their countries.
 
“We have managed to change the mindset of youth from our neighboring countries and now they are taking part in democratic process in their countries instead of escalating violence particular in Rwanda and Congo” Said Kafulila
 
 
Issues under the spotlight that raised the attention was also the continuing impact of the economic crisis and ways of working towards young people’s vision of a prosperous world whereby they examined how they can empower their peers to address the socio-economic challenges they are facing.
 
Earlier debating on the topic titled addressing socio-economic challenges from a youth perspective, Tanzania made remarkable contribution made by Hon. Godfrey Mgimwa which focused on strategies and solutions that can address the issue of illegal migration from third Word to the First World Countries by advocating the need of engagement of youth in decision making and empowering them through SME’s Loans.
 
“ Migration is a serious challenge to our economic growth in third word countries, youth are busy hunting decent jobs and opportunities in first word countries, these is the manpower we are loosing so easily, let us make them feel that they are party of our decision by engaging them and we can also give them loans to start SME’s so that they can contribute to our economic development” added Hon. Mgimwa
 
With UN figures suggesting that 600 million young people are living in conflict zones, and amid growing concerns over the engagement of youth in violent extremism, the role of young people in eliminating violence and conflict is also explored whereby special attention is being paid to the issue of violence against youth, including young women and girls.
 
IPU believes it is crucial for young people to be fully engaged in the democratic process, and to be better represented in the world’s parliaments.
 
Five years ago IPU adopted a major resolution on Youth Participation in the Democratic Process, calling for fresh action from states, parliaments, political parties and other relevant groups to draw more young people into the formal democratic process. The Global Conference of Young Parliamentarians will renew this world commitment for youth in politics.
