Africa’s promises must translate into opportunities for its young people. Through Agenda 2063, the African Union envisions inclusive growth and job creation. But how do those commitments reach young people navigating the informal sector. At the first graduation of skilling participants from @ImplicitEffect and Sauv in Uganda in their cluster partnership with @CRVPF1 We explore the journey from acquiring practical skills to building sustainable livelihoods. Beyond the certificates, are young people getting the opportunities and support they need to thrive? Switched By @shunxshannon #africaexplained #au20years #africanunion #crvpf #tvet #SwitchAfrica

Your body relies on a protein called hemoglobin in red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. Thalassemia causes the body to produce less healthy hemoglobin, which leads red blood cells to break down faster and results in anemia. Switched by @mukyalagertrude #SwitchHealth #PublicHealth

Strengthening EU–youth partnerships in West Nile! 🇪🇺🤝🏽 The EU Delegation visited West Nile to review ongoing initiatives in the region and strengthen its engagement with young people. Through its support for various initiatives, including the PACER consortium, the EU is creating opportunities for young people to engage in civic processes, amplify their voices, and actively participate in safeguarding human rights. When young people are part of civic processes, they can hold leaders accountable, influence decisions, and drive change in their communities. Stronger partnerships mean more opportunities for young people to shape the future they want. Switched by @ShibaNakakande #westnile #shapingnarratives
