Youth and Empowerment
Youths constitute two-thirds of the Sierra Leone population and the work force of the country, yet they are the most disempowered. They lack voice in decision-making processes and even in matters regarding their welfare. They lack access to employment, education and training opportunities. The focus of the programme is on improving the standards of youths by ensuring that their livelihood concerns are effectively represented in government and non-government planning, budgeting and implementation processes at all levels.
