The United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) on September 24 launched Generation Unlimited, a global educational and training partnership, at the United Nations headquarters in New York, USA.

 

This programme “dedicated to increasing opportunities and investments for children and young people aged 10 to 24,” will see Unicef partnering various companions, in an effort to help young people transition from adolescence to maturity with ease.

With tagline ‘Co-creating solutions with and for young people’, Generation Unlimited is part of efforts to accelerate the implementation of the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It aims to involve and respond to the specific needs of young people, as well as promote and support young people’s role as critical agents of change.

 

A statement by Unicef’s headquarter in New York dated September 21 and titled ‘World leaders unite under new initiative to provide quality education and training for young people’, said Generation Unlimited “will tackle the global education and training crisis currently holding back millions of young people and threatening progress and stability”.

It promises getting “every young person into quality education, training or employment by 2030”.

As part of the United Nations Secretary-General’s Youth 2030 Strategy, Generation Unlimited will complement and build on existing programmes that support adolescents and young people. Its three key areas of emphasis will be: secondary-age education; skills for learning, employability and decent work; and empowerment.

Generation Unlimited’s website, www.genunlimited.org/, states that the first round of multi-stakeholder co-creation, led by a wide range of external experts, has already yielded 20 initiatives that have the potential to deliver sustained results, and which are currently being considered for support by Generation Unlimited.

It also mentions a set of ‘promising transformative ideas’ that will harness the power of new trends like digitalization, globalization, technology and demographics.

These ideas will harness emerging industries in the green and care economies, as well as the growing body of data, knowledge and experience to address barriers that are obstructing progress for young people.

Many of these trends are at critical turning points that could help leapfrog solutions ahead of the curve and dramatically improve the effectiveness of scalable solutions.

LEADERSHIP

At the launch, Unicef executive director Henrietta Fore said: “The change in demographics the world is experiencing, coupled with fast-moving technological advances, presents a critical moment in history.

If we act wisely and urgently, we can create a skilled cohort of young people better prepared to create sustainable economies and peaceful and prosperous societies. Young people may represent 25 per cent of the global population, but they account for 100 per cent of the future. We cannot afford to fail them.”

Generation Unlimited boasts a wide range of partners – governments, the private sector, academia, international and civil society organizations, as well as young people themselves – to co-create, fund and scale up innovative solutions to expand opportunities for the world’s young people.

Besides a large board, Generation Unlimited also boasts a nine-member leaders group and a four-member champions group. The first meeting of the global board for the partnership was held in July last year.

Basabiddwa okubatwaala mu bantu abalina obumanyirivu ku kulabirira abaana ab'ekika bwe kiti kibasobozese okufuuka abantu ab'omugaso gye buggya.
 

Nambi ng'ayogerako eri abazadde n'abaana.

Yasabye abasajja okukomyanga okwegaana abaana baabwe ne babasuulirira  kubanga nabo babeera baana.

Minister for the youth in Uganda, M/s Nakiwala Kiyingi.<br /><br />Such child care homes presently underline the forgotten ideology of African Socialism and the Welfare State on the continent. It was a dream the past leaders of Africa thought they would do it proper if they lasted longer in power. Wapi. Poverty, civil war and the rest of the sins on this continent have made the children of Africa a much bigger problem to solve.

Didas Mpagi being led to prison.<br /><br />Now that these sorts of kids are likely to be infected with HIV, there was talk that COVID19 does not attack young children. But then the new variant is now attacking these kids. Are these kids going to standstill in their education for another year of lockdown in Uganda?<br /><br />This incident shows well the rot in the so called great policy of national education in this country especially for the young children.<br /> <br />And unfortunately for the Department of Education at headquarters has only been waiting for these kids to defend themselves in the courts of law without any assistance at all.<br /><br />Who exactly is the prosecutor? Who hires and gives a school license to such educational criminals? One reckons the major purpose of this expensive ministry is to protect the children as they enjoy their rights to education for the next coming generation of this country!<br />There is a problem with this entire generation, just look at the tight cloth that he considers to be a court, just look at the colours, honestly, why would a man want to dress like that, is it the design, fashion or it is stupidity.<br /> <br />Even during the colonial rule, there were professional school inspectors that used to put fear and efficiency in the administration and teaching of these primary education schools!<br />Now that this African rule is the order of the day, it is all about making money and every body for himself!<br /><br />Consider this that if these kids can suffer thus when they are in school, what is happening to them when they are locked down over COVID19 for now one year?

One reckons the major purpose of this expensive ministry is to protect the children as they enjoy their rights to education for the next coming generation of this country! There is a problem with this entire generation, just look at the tight cloth that he considers to be a court, just look at the colours, honestly, why would a man want to dress like that, is it the design, fashion or it is stupidity. Even during the colonial rule, there were professional school inspectors that used to put fear and efficiency in the administration and teaching of these primary education schools! Now that this African rule is the order of the day, it is all about making money and every body for himself! Consider this that if these kids can suffer thus when they are in school, what is happening to them when they are locked down over COVID19 for now one year?

A lovely human baby&#039;s foot in the picture.<br />Great the mother and child are in stable health condition. Such are the African children who can be of great examples to their generation in what it all means about civilization in this world. That grown up man who convinced this young girl must come out and stand with this girl and be counted. Many such girls because of fear do not want to report their nasty boyfriends. All the male citizens in this country must come out and demand better for such female children. That is why stubborn males are constantly advised to use condoms in their nasty sexual adventures instead of going to prison for 7 years. That girl could have killed herself and her baby!

Patients sleeping outside the Uganda Cancer Institute to await their critical medical appointments.<br />Of course this God given human life is suffering because of the ambitions of North American imperialism of North American that arrived in Uganda and impressed on the dodgy Uganda politicians through the IMF and World Bank to scrape the British Universal National Health Service. They introduced their own version of Insurance Health Care. President Obama of the Democratic Party during his rule tried to convince these diehard USA capitalists to change such a money making healthcare without any success. Good quality Hospital Treatment is for the rich world wide. The poor can wait for charity treatment even if they pay direct or indirect taxes or they can die and be buried (scraped). It is unfortunate that the USA has an Afro female democratic ambassador always telling the world how great the democratic America has put lots of aid money into the national health service of this poor country now 36 years and counting. She too does not seem to have a humane female heart at all surely especially when one reads the life misery of these patients! All it really needs for most poor people of Africa is the primary health care and in addition to modern medical care and treatment is the natural herbal medicines that are prevalent all over the country side of these tropical environmental regions.

The children enjoying a break from school at their official places of learning.<br />The introduction of an African social welfare system would be most useful to put together African communities and to improve on their patriotisms as African peoples living normally on their continent.

Disabled children and caretakers at Home of Hope facility.<br />One hopes that such disabled children all over the other developed countries have greater opportunities to involve themselves in normal community experiences. Where parents and foster parents are facilitated to try and live with such children with that hope coming much more from them than from these children.
