Generation Unlimited’s Post

“Unique, intentional, and deliberate.” That’s how Hon. Lesego Chombo, Botswana’s Minister of Youth and Gender, described the kind of public-private collaboration every government should pursue to equip young people with 21st-century skills and opportunities.    At the Generation Unlimited Global Leadership Council panel, leaders including Vice President of Nigeria H.E. Kashim Shettima, Chairman Access Holdings Plc Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and Former Prime Minister of Belgium Alexander De Croo emphasized the urgent need to: Foster Public-Private-Youth collaboration to co-design skills development systems and better integration of the informal sector, with government infrastructure, capital and market insights from the private sector, and young people contributing creativity and leadership. Together through public-private-youth partnerships, we can scale skills and create inclusive #WorkLifeReady pathways into employment and entrepreneurship - especially in high-growth sectors. #UNGA
