The Youth Council members in the North Fly district of the Western province are now in a better position to help deliver youth development programs in the district after completing a Youth Leadership Training program just recently.
The training was facilitated by National Youth Development Authority (NYDA) in partnership with Justice Stability Services for Development, which focused on delivering basic leadership skillsets to equip and help youths manage their youth councils and members.
The participants also managed to successfully develop their first ever youth council constitution draft during the training.
North Fly District Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mr. Greg Isau in his keynote speech, announced that the NYDA will be invited to do more awareness on its National Youth Policy 2020-2030 and some of its national programs at a special forum to be hosted by the district, which is why the training was important.
Justice Stability Services for Development Advisor, Mr. Andy Philip pledged their support for youth development and to emphasize the need to collaborate and work in partnership between the various government agencies and administrations to create more opportunities for young people to be empowered.
The Youth Leadership Training was conducted from the 03rd of July to the 07th of July at Bugum Lodge in Kiunga. The District Youth Development Council members received their certificate of attendance after completing the training.
