“It’s clearer than ever that young people don’t need lectures from us. They would welcome tools. Our support. Mentoring. Guidance.”- Reeta Roy, at ATF2018 on what’s needed for young people to be change-makers & job creators in Africa’s youth employment challenge.#WorkForTheFuture

[Tashmia Ismail @TashmiaI]

Priorities in spending on development based on innovation, impact and longer term spillover effects, a more objective and scientific approach to funding initiatives rather than incumbency power to influence funders @WiltonPark is an important topic for this workshop @Yes4YouthZA
