FOSDA has held a meeting with His Excellency Dr. Ibn Chambas on the ECOWAS Youth Parliament (EYP) Initiative in Accra on Wednesday, 12th October, 2025.

The meeting was the 2nd in the series of engagements with regional and high-level actors in the ECOWAS region to share and dialogue on the EYP campaign and the need for ECOWAS to establish a Youth Wing Parliament. The meeting provided opportunity for FOSDA to present a draft conceptual framework on the proposal for the EYP as well as the proposed framework for the Regional Youth Council.

Reflections and discussions on the EYP centred on opportunities to leverage on to ensure ECOWAS adopts the conceptual framework as a roadmap towards establishing the EYP.

The meeting was hybrid with participants from Ghana and Nigeria including representatives from FOSDA, OXFAM in Ghana, Ghana Youth Manifesto Coalition (GYMC), West Africa Youth Alliance (WAYA) and representatives from the Nigeria’s Youth Parliament.
