Empowering young people through skills, inclusion and responsible citizenship. 🇿🇲
Speaking to Prime Television at the 60th Zambia International Trade Fair, Director of Youth, Ms. Mable Beene Nedziwe, highlighted how the Ministry of Youth, Sport and Arts is advancing youth empowerment through skills development, entrepreneurship and inclusive programming.
She noted that while the formal education system equips learners with academic knowledge, the Ministry complements these efforts by providing practical skills through the 26 Youth Resource Centres across the country, ensuring that young people, including those outside the formal education system, have opportunities to build sustainable livelihoods.
Ms. Nedziwe further reaffirmed the Ministry's commitment to leaving no young person behind, citing the translation of the National Youth Policy into Braille as a milestone in promoting accessibility and inclusion for young people with visual impairments.
She also called on young people to be ambassadors of peace by rejecting violence, using social media responsibly, and contributing positively to Zambia's democratic processes.
