The SOCO, under its Youth Engagement and Social Cohesion subcomponent, supports Youth Parliaments in 48 districts in northern Ghana to give youth, including those who are marginalized or at-risk, a platform, voice, and agency to engage in national discourse.
The SOCO project currently supports 32 Youth Parliaments. Several identified opportunities to strengthen the existing Youth Parliament model led the SOCO project to develop the Youth Parliament 2.0 concept.
The model aims to catalyze youth participation in policy making, local development, and decision making by fostering active and committed youth participation; better utilizing technology in Parliamentary activities; broadening the scope; and connecting Youth Parliament 2.0 outcomes with local governments and planning processes.
On Thursday, 5th June, 2025, National Youth Authority in collabration with SOCO held a Youth Parliament meeting in the Bawku West District Assembly to deliberate on the topic “Road accidents a reflection of institutional failure or public negligence”
