The National Youth Conference and Festival (NAYCONF) will be hosted by Brikama from 15th - 22nd December. NAYCONF is a bi-annual event, which aims to bring 1,500 young people from all over the country to enable them to share their experience and dilate on issues that affect their lives.
This year's national conference will focus on the role of youths in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The youths are expected to make recommendations on the National Youth Council Act and Youth Policy. They will also discuss how to build on the growing interest of young people in the fight against HIV/AIDS and come up with a practical strategy that would effectively contribute in combating the spread of HIV/AIDS amongst young people. The cultural performance, carnival, award ceremony, sporting activities and beauty contest are the main components of the programme.
The participants will be drawn from the seven administrative divisions and municipalities in the Gambia, from different national youth organisations. Some participants will come from other countries. Fifteen (15) participants will be drawn from each division and two from each youth organization. Participants will also be drawn from government departments, NGOs, UN Agencies and the private sector.
