The inclusion of political parties in the development and planning of activities during the project design phase could have further enriched the initiative’s relevance and ensured a broader and more inclusive platform for youth participation in Mozambique’s democratic development processes. In this project, specific activities aimed at encouraging youth involvement in political parties resulted in eighty-nine percent of the project beneficiaries registering with political parties. However, the potential for even greater youth involvement in political activities could have been realized by involving political party representatives in the design of tailored activities to promote active participation and enhance engagement in party-related initiatives.
