“Young people can engage in farming, business, and even make use of digital platforms to generate income,” he said, and added: “Today, we have discussed ways to empower ourselves economically and socially in our communities.”

The District Youth Officer encouraged youth network leaders to take the message back to their groups and to inspire their peers to start small-scale businesses as a means of economic empowerment.

Patrick Ntchuka, Youth Network Leader for Sub-Traditional Authority (Sub-T/A) Nguluwe, described the meeting as productive, saying it had equipped them with knowledge on how to make their networks more self-sustaining and economically active.

“As a leader, I will encourage fellow youths to engage in business and farming ventures to improve their livelihoods,” said Ntchuka.

The meeting was attended by various youth network leaders from across the district.
