I’m Didier Mugalihya, 28, from the Democratic Republic of Congo. I have a master’s degree in environmental management and protected areas at Senghor University. Since 2014, I have been involved in various associations of civil society and in sub-regional platforms: “Cercle de Réflexion pour le Bassin du Congo” (CRBC), “Catholic Youth Network for Sustainability Environment in Africa” (CYNESA), “Jeunes auteurs des grands-laces”, “Intellectual Decisions Environmental Awareness solutions” (IDEASForUs). The activities of these associations bring youth from the subregion of the Great Lakes together through specific and varied themes.
