Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane hosts webinar on the National Youth Policy process amidst Coronavirus COVID-19 lockdown, 29 Jun

The Minister in the Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, will host a Webinar of the National Youth Policy review in the context of COVID-19 as part of youth month activities. The webinar will focus on the National Youth Policy 2020-2030 subsequent to numerous consultations with stakeholders, to map a clear policy direction and to ensure the youth of South Africa develop positively and are able to adjust and thrive in this new reality.

The National Youth Policy pronounces on policy proposals to ensure that youth development imperatives are promoted across government, private sector and civil society organisations. To that end, the webinar will include panellists from various sectors, for a pointed discussion about how the policy can play a positive advocacy role in guiding youth interventions during and post this pandemic.

“As we adjust to this new normal, let us continue to make youth development a priority, by engaging the youth as equal and resourceful partners in seeking solutions. We must continue to lift up youth voices, in a manner that would ensure resilience and recovery,” said Minister Nkoana-Mashabane.

The Department is looking forward to the participation of youth representing a diverse number of interests and organisations. The event will also live stream to the Facebook Page of The Department of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities (@dwypdza).
