At the Climate and Humanitarian Youth Inclusion Policy Dialogue held on April 30, 2026 at Corina Hotel in Liberia, our Executive Director & Founder Abdurahman IA Fofana called for the establishment of a National Climate Justice Youth Council of Liberia to strengthen youth participation in climate governance and humanitarian action.

The dialogue, organized by Youth Humanitarian Movement and ActionAid Liberia, brought together youth leaders and stakeholders to advance inclusive climate and humanitarian policies.

During the engagement, Mr. Fofana emphasized the importance of sustained advocacy, urging young activists and civil society actors not to end their efforts after submitting petitions or raising concerns. He stressed that meaningful change requires continuous engagement until advocacy goals and policy objectives are fully achieved.

As part of the discussions, he and his team presented key policy recommendations advocating for the full inclusion of young people in policy development processes at all levels of decision-making.

The recommendations highlighted the need for youth voices to be recognized as essential partners in shaping sustainable climate and humanitarian solutions for Liberia.

This engagement reflects our continued commitment to empowering young people to lead transformative action and contribute to national development through inclusive advocacy and policy reform.

Our Executive Director and Founder, Abdurahman I.A. Fofana, honored invitations from two outstanding youth and community development institutions (YOCEM) Vocational Training Institute and Youth Alliance for Progress International at their separate graduation ceremony and official launch held on May 3, 2026 in Peace Island Community and Old Road Community.

These institutions are playing a vital role in advancing education through Technical and Vocational Training and youth-focused accelerator programs, equipping young Liberians with practical skills for sustainable livelihoods.

In his remarks, Fofana encouraged young people and parents across Liberia to take full advantage of Technical Vocational Education and Entrepreneurship opportunities.

He emphasized that these pathways are critical to reducing poverty, tackling youth unemployment, and driving national economic growth.

He further called on Liberian youth to foster unity, collaboration, and mutual support, discouraging envy and division. He highlighted that many young people continue to face limited access to opportunities, often due to systemic barriers.

Addressing common misconceptions, Fofana challenged the narrative that young people are unqualified or lazy. He stressed that Liberia is home to many capable, talented, and driven youth who are ready to lead and innovate referencing the minister of youth and sports.

As a leading advocate for youth development, Fofana continues to champion the inclusion of Technical Vocational Training and Entrepreneurship in Liberia’s national curriculum.

Fofana also emphasizes the Importance of unity among Liberians and call for Liberians to unite again issues affecting Liberia and put aside religion, tribe and political party.

He also reiterated the need for the establishment of recreational centers across the country to help reduce substance abuse among young people.

In closing, he encouraged the graduates especially young women and youth across the nation to serve as agents of positive change in their communities.

He further called for the creation of a National Entrepreneurship Fund to support young Liberian entrepreneurs and unlock their full potential.

Responsible online Citizens / Internet Uses.
The training of the two sections were amazing as students learned about the good, bad and safety while on the internet or online.

While other students learn about table and design.

Reducing digital illiteracy in Liberia and complimenting national government digital agenda.
