The Commonwealth Youth Programme through its strategic programme of Youth Enterprise and Sustainable Livelihoods (YESL) has been focusing on the curbing of youth employment through the promotion of Youth Entrepreneurship. Which places great emphasis on participatory delivery, partnerships and integrating programming.
It is that time of the year again when different Youth Development Practitioners, Social Development Programmers, Enterprise Mentors, Trainers and Academicians come together for the ILO-CYP International Trainer of Trainers (ToT) programme in International Perspectives in Youth Entrepreneurship Training.
The Commonwealth Youth Programme since its inception is focused on youth empowerment and entrepreneurship among young people through various interventions undertaken directly with the member governments. It has a flagship programme for sustainable livelihood called Commonwealth Youth Credit Initiative (CYCI) which is a package of micro-credit, enterprise training and business mentorship targeted at the young people with the potential for self-employment.
