The general assembly is held under the theme 'Youth Skills for Food Security: Towards Peace, Poverty Eradication and Sustainable Development'. At the event, UNESCO Representative in Namibia Djaffar Moussa-Elkadhum emphasised his organisation's commitment towards youth empowerment in all spheres of human development. Moussa-Elkadhum says the youth have been and continue to be a primary group for UNESCO development target towards building a better world for all. He noted the need to empower the youth with the necessary knowledge and skills and increase their employability, entrepreneurship and lifelong learning. Moussa-Elkadhum stated that, despite high youth urbanisation to seek education and jobs, more youth are still in rural areas where special attention should be given. He, therefore, calls for more innovative ways to empower rural youth in modern agriculture to ensure sustainable income and improved livelihoods.
