Mushroom farming Initiative that aim to train youth in mushroom cultivation Create employment and empower the youth Improve living standard of people Ministry is piloting the project, success of the project will lead to replication in different parts of the country

What are the challenges? Lack of resources Lack of adequate awareness (information communication and dissemination) Comparing today's youth initiative to the past youth Sustainability (donor funded projects or initiatives)

Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust Environmental education center that teaches the community and the youth as well as school learners on how to live sustainably Their main focus is on reducing carbon footprint and to ensure sustainable living

What needs to be done? Promote community involvement in the management of natural resources Use natural resources on a sustainable basis and fully consider the ecosystems Promote youth involvement in the management of natural resources and environment Encourage youth empowerment projects Anything done for the youth and not by the youth is not for the youth.

The earth is not ours, it is a treasure we owe the future generations! For the youth by the youth because anything done for us and not by us is not ours
