YOUTH PARTICIPATION IN GLOBAL DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES
Africa
African Preparatory Process: In this region some national-regional preparatory events were held by different organizations. Activities were developed in Cameroon, South Africa, Kenya, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Liberia, Zambia and Uganda, among others. The African process finished also with an African Youth Conference on Development and Environment, held in Kenya, from February 17-20, 1992. "The conference was organized by a steering committee of 9 youth from Kenya and Ivorian youth groups. It brought together about 150 African youth to determine, how together, they could save the continent from the looming environmental disaster and be effective in the remaining UNCED Process." ("Working around the clock", YOUTH '92 Informative Bulletin, February 1992) At the conference, the participants prepared their YOUTH '92 and UNCED contributions, and discussed future networking and follow-up. The African delegation for YOUTH '92 was selected in this conference.
