Agency for Integrated Development - SL

The Agency for Integrated Development, Sierra Leone (AID-SL), in collaboration with the Kailahun District Council and with support from the European Union (EU), joined the global community in commemorating International Youth Day 2025.

The event, held at the Kailahun District Council Hall, brought together youth representatives from all 15 Chiefdom Youth Councils. It formed part of the ongoing EU-funded project, “Empowering the Kailahun District Council for Enhanced and Inclusive Service Delivery,” with a specific focus on strengthening the effective functioning of these youth structures.

The forum served as a crucial platform for young leaders to share experiences, review the progress of their respective chiefdom development plans, identify challenges, and coordinate strategies for collective action and sustained community engagement.

In his remarks, AID-SL Project Coordinator, Mr. Ibrahim Kalilu Foday, urged participants to remain focused, determined, and committed to national development. He emphasized the vital role of youth in fostering inclusive and accountable governance, particularly at the grassroots level.

This initiative supports Sierra Leone’s broader commitment to youth empowerment and inclusive service delivery as essential pillars of sustainable development.
