The rationale for focusing on the youth was to equip current and prospective young leaders with transformative leadership skills to enable them maximize their potential and improve their performance to effectively influence development policies and programmes.
The training was officially opened by Mr. Mondo Kyateka, Commissioner for Youth and Children, Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social Development who encouraged the youth leaders to take hold and use of the knowledge and skills they learned from the training.
In her opening remarks, Ms. Sheila Ngatia, Deputy Resident Representative UNDP Uganda noted that UNDP partnered with Makerere University to be able to roll out the kind of Leadership Training and Capacity Building as an investment in the future leaders of Uganda. She also emphasized that it is important to engage with young people as they represent the latest constituents of the population who have a central role to play in the development journey of the beautiful country, Uganda.
