Zambia is marking Youth Day today, a day dedicated to recognising the contribution of young people to the country's development and future leadership. With young people making up a significant share of the population, the day also shines a spotlight on the opportunities, challenges and role of youth in shaping Zambia's future. To reflect on the significance of the day and the importance of youth participation in national development, I'm joined now by Damiano Mabingo, a Zambian award-winning writer, Model United Nations alumnus and young politician.
