There is no simple way to solving the African youth question. This book seeks to make a simple but no ordinary call on all stakeholders to take steps and help solve the youth question across the continent. This is a call, which does not require guns and machetes, but intellectual and moral weapons without which lasting results can never be secured. One other important issue worth mentioning, if even in passing, is the slur of ghettoes. Ghettoes have been known to provide safe havens for criminals and traps for the vulnerable youth especially the homeless, poverty stricken and those from hot spots. Ghettoes do not only provide fertile grounds for criminals, they also provide them with the opportunity to recruit vulnerable youth to their fold. There is no doubt that, policies have no legs to walk on into reality. The traditional track for their movement into reality is through programmes deliberately designed and religiously adhered to. On the other hand, institutions implement programmes. Thus the stronger, effective and resourceful an institution is, the better the programmes are implemented and consequently the effectiveness of the policy in the lives of the intended target. The media, with its reach, the ability to set agenda, and its 'god' status in the eyes of society should attempt to educate the youth on family values to the society. Debates could be generated on the essence of the family unit among others to psyche society up by highlighting the inherent beauty of the family system. The time has come for chieftaincy institution, to reassert its traditional duties to the youth and society. This is a call for grassroot education where chiefs and sub-chiefs would engage their societies in meaningful 'Nim-tree' and Baobab-tree discussions to establish codes and reinstate the position of the family in the society and more importantly to the youth. Two critical programmes, which could provide substantive and long-term opportunities to the youth, should centre on Incubation Centres and National Employment Programme. Traditionally, incubation centres give office space and technical advice in the early years of start-ups with the capacity, by design, to support any area of entrepreneurial direction government policies indicates. The high level of expertise required to successfully manage a business, coupled with the cost of rent, makes it necessary for the government, either singularly or in partnership, to support the culture of the business incubation centres. These incubation centres should be established with the core goal of providing the necessary technical support and protection for young entrepreneurs during the critical early stages of their businesses. As a matter of national priority, African leaders need to build and empower youth entrepreneurs. The issue of job centres with an online option would enhance the job search and security of the youth. That is to say, the government should establish job centres on campuses....

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

OurVision
IGLSA exists to develop programs that engage with
the system, with a view to strengthening partic-
ipatory governance. Through providing quality
training, certification programs, and increased
civic engagement, we enhance performance in
public service as a constructive response to the
challenges of Africa's development.
To become a premiere regional hub for democratic
policy and reforms, leadership development and

Introduction
The Institute for Governance and Leadership Studies in Africa (IGLSA) is an
International Non-State Intellectual and Professional Resource Centre estab-
lished as part of a concerted and constructive response to challenges of Africa’s
development. A multi-disciplinary Centre, IGLSA attempts to address some of
the skills gaps that may have impeded development in the Continent with the
primary aim of enhancing her capacity to harness its enormous potentials.The
paradox of Africa is the pervasive poverty and poor infrastructure in the midst
of almost limitless human and material resource base.
The institute was also a response to the emerging trend in the evolution of
Constitutional Governance in Africa. There is an apparent on-going pressure
on elected Governments in the Continent to address the problems of poverty,
insecurity, unemployment, poor infrastructure etc., to such an extent that citi-
zens are beginning to question the relevance of democracy to their well-being.
Indeed, there is an increasing disconnect between leaders and the people, be-
tween political parties and the electorate, as well as between Party Leadership
and their members.The political space is getting smaller by acts of impunity of
leaders. This is worrisome and a clear threat to the fragile democratic order in
the Continent, hence, the need to urgently search for workable solutions and
remedies to this dearly leadership and governance crisis.

IGLSA
IssuesinAfrica’s
Development
Despite the relative disagreement among scholars of
Africa’s development on the causes of the Continent’s
underdevelopment, there seems to be some agreement
on some of the following:
• Lack of local capacity to harness available human and natural resource
potentials.
• Policy inconsistency mainly due to political instability and absence of
consensus among Africa’s Political Elite.
• Absence of a concerted and constructive Leadership recruitment pro-
cess.
• Inadequate civic socialisation facilities which could have strengthened
the bond between the Citizens and the State.
• Unfair and unjust world trade rules and regulations, tarrifs and other
conditions.
• African industrialisation is never aggressively encouraged. This makes
African countries to remain primary products producers.
The IGLSA was
established in re-
sponse to the fore-
going challenges
The IGLSA also seeks to shape fresh policy approaches to strengthen Con-
stitutional Governance, Leadership recruitment process, and policy sus-
tainability through robust Research, productive Conferences, Publishing,
as well as Local and International networking. The Institute will partner
with Political as well as Security establishments to achieving its goals.
