Young Leaders Exchange
As part of the Women Peace and Security framework, the youth leaders exchange serves to advance women's and girls' civic and political leadership. By dismantling barriers and building leadership pipeline to support women's meaningful participation in political, peacebuilding and transition processes, the exchange is rooted in facilitating initiatives that advance leadership of local women and girls within their communities.
The exchange brings young leaders from Pakistan, Liberia and the Appalachia (Western North Carolina and rural Virginia) in the United States together to re-imagine leadership for transformative change. In partnership with US Women, Peace & Security Framework, G7 Global Objectives on Girl's Education, and the SDG Action Zone, the initiative is first of its kind towards civil bi-lateral relations between the United States and Pakistan and between Liberia and the United States.
