What role does social media play in educating the youth about the sustainable development goals? #sustainable #sdgs #dialogue #socialmedia

[Keagen Gertse 🇿🇦 @keagenj_]

Our unemployment largely stems from a throttled economic environment, hamstrung by political factionalism and dominant corporate interest. We should consider an independent body vouching for the alleviation of red tape so that startups, SME's and informal traders can thrive.

[Yvette Amibukiro @Yvette_Ami]

The biggest message which has stayed with me from the discussion during global week 27/09 is that we can't repeat old solutions for poverty alleviation when it's obvious they aren't working or creating change - Alexis Habiyaremye

@AfricanMonitor The jobs which are currently being created for the youth are part time or temporary. Sustainable job creation is essential!

[Yvette Amibukiro @Yvette_Ami]

@AfricanMonitor The years of oppression and marginalization created by the Apartheid Government is responsible for the high unemployment rate in the country... Policies which are directed to the youth who make up the largest percentage of unemployed people in the country need to be implemented

@AfricanMonitor @Yvette_Ami @UNDP @SDGaction We can no longer wait to decisively work together to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on poor people @UNDPSouthAfrica

[African Monitor @AfricanMonitor]

Research by @UNDP analysed the impact of COVID-19 on livelihoods & the economy. COVID-19 will cause South Africa's GDP to decline by 7.9% in 2020. There will be setbacks to our SDGs regarding poverty unemployment & Inequality

As transformative as the basic income grant of R1335 sounds... However is the basic income grant inclusive of foreign nationals? And if not, should it be?

A long term perspective to reduce poverty and extreme inequalities. @KefiloeMasiten3 #Act4SDGs #UNGA #TurnItAround #Generation17

[Yvette Amibukiro @Yvette_Ami]

The lack of a long term plan has weakened the ability to provide clear and consistent policies. @KefiloeMasiten3 #Act4SDGs #UNGA #TurnItAround #Generation17

The progress on #SDG goal one that aims at ending poverty for all has largely been reversed for the marginalised and excluded communities. #Act4SDGs #UNGA #TurnItAround #Generation17
