Limpopo youth to deliberate on the development of the Youth Strategy
During his State of the Province Address in February 2017, Premier Stanley Mathabatha identified a need for the Limpopo Provincial Government to develop the Limpopo Youth Empowerment Strategy, to clearly define the youth development agenda in the province and allow young people and other relevant stakeholders to come together under one roof to deliberate on issues concerning youth upliftment.
The objectives of the strategy are:
- To reassert youth development as a cross-cutting responsibility of all sector departments and state agencies in Limpopo Provincial Government and Municipalities,
- To ensure that youth development issues are mainstreamed and occupy their rightful place and space in the planning, budgeting and implementation of programmes of the Limpopo Provincial Government,
- To strengthen the capacity of key youth development institutions in the province and ensure integration and coordination in the delivery of youth services,
- To strengthen the capacities of youths to enable them to take charge of their own wellbeing through building their assets and ultimately realising their potential to the fullest,
- To strengthen a culture of patriotic citizenship, social cohesion and nation-building among young people of Limpopo Province and assist them to become responsible adults who care for their families and others,
- To create a wider range of learning pathways to provide young people with multiple routes and exit opportunities for them to realise successful transition from youth to adulthood,
- To design and implement interventions that seek to provide a wide variety of opportunities for needy young people, especially in rural areas.
