Behind the Scenes: A Day in the Life of a Fashion Designer.
The recent Partner Convening hosted by Mastercard Foundation was a moment of tremendous insight. This year's theme, "Collective Action for Accelerated Impact," underscored the power of joint efforts in amplifying youth programming.
Here are our key takeaways:
-Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): Focused programming for young women and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs).
-Economic Impact: Young women in Nigeria are projected to contribute $56 billion to the economy, yet only 19% are in dignified work through the Foundation's programs.
-Inclusive Programming: Aiming for at least 5% inclusion of PWDs in all initiatives.
-MERL Framework: Emphasizing data-driven decisions and ethical data management
-Cross-Sector Collaboration: Strengthening partnerships for greater youth development impact.
This convening reinforced our dedication to amplifying young African voices, empowering youths, and driving meaningful change. Together, we are committed to a more inclusive and prosperous Africa.
