The National Youth Au­thority (NYA), in collabora­tion with the STAR- Ghana Foundation, organised a youth di­alogue in Koforidua on Thursday, focusing on the National Youth Policy (NYP) for 200 youth from the Eastern Region.

The event, on the theme: 'Youth in Action: Shaping the future through the National Youth Policy,' aimed to foster a shared understanding of the policy and its implementation plan.

The dialogue sought to promote youth ownership and responsi­bility, encourage direct commu­nication between the youth and decision-makers, and address the region's specific challenges and opportunities related to the policy.

Mr Nelson Owusu Ansah, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the NYA, emphasised the crucial role of youth in national development.
