Training on Youth Participation and Economic Opportunities under the Amani Yangu, Uchumi Wangu project, implemented under Dumisha Amani Phase II.

When young people are given a voice and opportunities to participate in decision-making, they become active contributors to peace, economic growth, and sustainable development. Their ideas, voices, and actions can help address community challenges and create better opportunities for everyone.

Today, MYCN conducted a training on Youth Participation and Economic Opportunities under the Amani Yangu, Uchumi Wangu project, implemented under Dumisha Amani Phase II.

The training brought together young people from different wards across Nyamagana District to strengthen their knowledge and skills in non-violent communication, civic participation, government engagement and available economic opportunities.

Facilitated by the Regional Youth Officer and the City Business Officer, the sessions provided practical insights into how young people can engage decision-makers, address socio-economic challenges constructively and explore available opportunities, including the Government's 10% Youth Development Loans.

Through this initiative, young people are encouraged to turn their shared challenges into meaningful dialogue, collective action and practical community-led solutions that promote peace and improve their livelihoods.

When young people's voices are heard, stronger economies and sustainable communities become possible.

This project is funded by @UNDPtanzania in collaboration with @orvijana.
