1 day agoSouth Africa continues to strengthen its commitment to youth empowerment as Deputy Minister in the Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, Mmapaseka Steve Letsike, arrives in New York to participate in the 2026 United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Youth Forum. The high-level gathering, hosted at the UN Headquarters, brings together young leaders, policymakers, and global development partners to shape youth-driven solutions for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The forum, taking place from 14 to 16 April 2026, provides a powerful platform where young people engage directly with global decision-makers on issues such as unemployment, innovation, education, and inclusive growth. It also emphasizes the importance of ensuring that youth voices are not only heard but integrated into global policy frameworks.
Deputy Minister Letsike’s participation reflects South Africa’s broader strategy of positioning young people at the center of development conversations. She emphasized that meaningful youth inclusion is essential for building a fair, sustainable, and inclusive global society.
As discussions unfold in New York, South Africa aims to contribute perspectives rooted in solidarity, equality, and shared responsibility, reinforcing the belief that global challenges require collective, youth-led action.
