It was an honor to participate in the Youth Roundtable Discussion organized by The Orphan Empowerment Society Sierra Leone (TOES-SL) under the theme: “Empowering Sierra Leone Youths for National Development.”

The session focused on promoting meaningful youth participation in national development, bringing together a diverse group of young people, private sector representatives, civil society leaders, and development stakeholders.

Key discussions centered on youth inclusion in governance and policy-making processes, employment opportunities, entrepreneurship, and skills development. Participants also examined the importance of transparency, accountability, innovation, and public-private partnerships in advancing youth development.

The roundtable further explored issues relating to youth employment, education, innovation, civic engagement, digital transformation, and climate-related opportunities for young people.
