The Ghana Youth Manifesto is a comprehensive compilation of youth policy options and proposals to place our issues and perspectives at the heart of Ghana’s 2012 elections agenda, and thereafter form the basis for national youth policy. It contains our views, aspirations, perspectives, and issues, and covers most aspects of contemporary youth development issues, taking into account internationally agreed frameworks such as the World Programme of Action for Youth and the African Youth Charter. The Ghana Youth Manifesto is the outcome of our own interconnected efforts and those of various stakeholders in youth development in Ghana. Therefore it is owned by our broad constituency of youth from all parts of the country. It is a non-partisan document.
