#Our 2030 Youth Dialogue on January 22
The UNDP together with the Ministry of National Policies, the Ministry of Digital Infrastructure, National Youth Services Council, the ICTA, Citi Foundation and Youth Co Lab are coming together to host ‘#Our 2030 Youth Dialogue: Leadership, Innovation and Entrepreneurship’ bringing together 200 young people from across the country on January 22.
Held for the second consecutive year, this dialogue aims to constructively engage participants on youth development to create more sustainable, peaceful and inclusive societies both locally and globally. The dialogue provides an ideal opportunity not only for young people but for other actors such as the public and private sector, UN agencies, civil societies, academia, and other stakeholders working with and for young people, to engage in a meaningful conversation on localizing the new ‘Youth 2030: UN Youth Strategy’.
Parallel to this dialogue, the pre-incubation programme of the ‘Hackadev: National Youth Social Innovation Challenge’ will take place for the selected teams, which is the final phase of the challenge before they proceed to further developing their idea with the aim of becoming social entrepreneurs.
