Digital citizenship participation of young people in a secondary city in senegal: the challenges of capitalising on practices
The rise of digital technologies is redefining how young people in Ziguinchor, a city in south-western Senegal, participate in the management of their city. Indeed, digital technology, as a new space for free expression, allows them to bypass conventional forms of citizen participation and, as a result, to make their voices heard more clearly. This new civic power in the hands of young people is leading to a new type of governance that is now horizontal and direct, particularly with tags to the relevant authorities.
