In a significant move to boost youth development, Minister of Youth Affairs, Min. Ibrahim Sannoh has met with District Youth Officers across the country, urging them to remain steadfast, disciplined, and committed in their duties. The Minister emphasized that these officers play a crucial role in translating government youth policies into tangible impact at the grassroots level.
Minister Sannoh’s vision for youth empowerment is ambitious and inclusive. He has outlined a three-year strategic plan, “Youth in Entrepreneurship,” focusing on self-reliance, job creation, and agriculture-driven economic independence. The plan aims to empower young people, particularly women and persons with disabilities, through skills development, technical education, and technology innovation.
The Minister’s efforts have been praised for their emphasis on local ownership and collaboration. He has strengthened ties with organizations like Plan International and the Women’s Forum to promote youth empowerment, education, and gender equality.
Minister Sannoh’s leadership has also been marked by a commitment to transparency and accountability. He has convened high-level meetings to review youth development initiatives and has emphasized the importance of strong legal frameworks to support youth programs.
As Sierra Leone’s youth look to the future, Minister Sannoh’s message is clear: “For all of us to do it together.” His dedication to youth empowerment and national progress is inspiring, and his efforts are expected to have a lasting impact on the country’s development.
