The BootCamp will be a multidisciplinary engagement, encompassing socio-economic and political participation, representation, and youth voices in governance processes. Gender based inclusion will be a key issue of focus, looking at mitigating hindering factors for gender and participation in socio-economic and political, policy and development processes within the COMESA framework and on basis of country by country context. Main focus will be on role of youth in cross border policy influencing and what kind of change narrative youth could drive across COMESA in line with COMESA inter-state cooperation and trade and commerce facilitation, and rule of the game in trade and development. How enabling is the policy environment for equal access to opportunities to youth, and what policy implementation gaps are evident to youth? What are the youth centric experiences, and any remaining policy and capacity gaps and measures to cure these?
