Young people speaking up for better public services!
Our Youth Peacebuilders from Hnila, Whykong and Palongkhali Unions led Public Service Awareness (PSA) and Advocacy sessions with Union Parishad Chairmen and Members:
📍 Hnila Union Parishad, Teknaf – 1 October 2026
📍 Whykong Union Parishad, Teknaf – 6 October 2026
📍 Palongkhali Union Parishad, Ukhiya – 7 October 2026
The young leaders planned and ran each session themselves. They shared their community's needs, asked questions, and talked openly with local leaders about how public services can be easy, fair, transparent and open to everyone. Many community members joined and shared their views too.
We are thankful to the UP Chairmen and Members for listening to the youth and for their kind support. When young people and local leaders work together, our communities grow stronger and more peaceful.
These sessions are part of the project Youth-Led Peacebuilding and Social Cohesion Initiatives in Bangladesh & Myanmar, co-funded by the European Union and implemented with ActionAid.
