Addis Ababa:The Prosperity Party (PP) has reinforced its pledge to create a better Ethiopia for future generations by emphasizing the importance of intergenerational responsibility as a fundamental part of its long-term national development strategy.
According to Ethiopian News Agency, the African Youth in Politics Forum is currently taking place in Addis Ababa, accompanying the Second African Political Parties Summit (APPS 2026), which commenced today.
During a panel discussion themed "Leveraging the Youth Dividend Driving Africa's Economic and Political Transformation," Nebiyou Sehul, the Director-General of International Relations for the PP, stated that intergenerational responsibility is a key pillar of the party's comprehensive strategic agenda. This agenda aims to ensure that Ethiopia's developmental gains and national resources are preserved and enhanced for the benefit of future generations.
Nebiyou explained that the concept of Medemer is the philosophical basis for the party's intergenerational vision, offering a framework for integration, accumulation, and collective contributions across generations. He described national inheritance as both a legacy from past generations and a duty for the current generation to protect and pass on to the next.
The Director-General underscored the importance of "The Medemer Generation," a book by Prosperity Party President and Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, in promoting the party's vision for future generations. He pointed out that the book outlines three key aspirations creating a better future for the next generation, cultivating a generation rooted in Medemer values, and preparing young people to inherit a more prosperous Ethiopia.
Nebiyou expressed confidence in achieving these aspirations, asserting that Ethiopia's future generations will inherit an improved nation. He emphasized the need for young people to take responsibility for safeguarding and advancing the country's accomplishments, highlighting that intergenerational inheritance should be both protected and earned through collective effort.
