“Skills are very critical to building peace and contributing to development,” says achaleke christian leke, Executive Director, Local Youth Corner Cameroon, and Project Management Institute #Future50 2022 nominee. Also an African Union Youth Ambassador for Peace, Central Africa Region, he draws on #projectmanagement skills in his approach to peace and development. "The key is identifying the root causes of violence, injustice, and marginalisation in communities and creating targeted initiatives to prevent these issues. As a #projectmanager, I've found that the design phase is crucial to our success, just as much as implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. We start by engaging with potential beneficiaries to ensure our #projects are responsive and considerate of their perspectives.” "Moreover, our projects are #youthled, emphasising young people's involvement because initiatives meant for them must include them, to be effective. We also focus on documenting our processes and envisioning the end results during the design phase, which guides our implementation. Our approach is uniquely adult-guided, providing an intergenerational perspective and fostering ownership among the youth." Over the past two years, Local Youth Corner Cameroon has reached over two million people. On #WorldYouthSkillsDay, he urges stakeholders, development partners, and the government to #invest in young people's developmental skills. He advocates for making Project Management Institute’s #courses and #training more accessible to #youth, empowering them to create peaceful and sustainable communities.

Today, we #celebrate a significant milestone with the #official launch of PMI BOTSWANA CHAPTER. The event brings to mind a powerful truth nestled in the #African proverb, "The poorest person in the world is the one without people." The proverb underscores the invaluable wealth that lies in #community, #connections, and #collaborative networks. The saying reminds us that our true #wealth is not measured in monetary terms but in the #relationships we forge and the #communities we build. In the world of #projectmanagement, where challenges are complex, and the demands relentless, the richness of a #professional community becomes evident through the diverse ideas and experiences its members share. The launch epitomises the creation of a space where professionals can come together, not just to connect, but to #enrich each other's lives professionally. This community is more than a #network; it's a think tank, a support system, and an incubator for #professionalgrowth. As we advance in tackling multi-sectoral #projects that span #infrastructure, #energy, and more, the value of our community is clear. Each new #perspective adds depth, each #shared strategy multiplies our effectiveness, and every #collaboration leads to #projectsuccess. Here's to the richness that comes from #unity, to the wealth found in our collective endeavor, and to a future where every #member can thrive. #Halala to PMI BOTSWANA CHAPTER on the official launch. Together, we maximise project success to elevate our world, a mission now underway with your efforts.

Idobro Impact Solutions conducted two sessions under the Systems Thinking workshops at the FAIR for ALL Asia Event in Cambodia for 60+ global partners and Oxfam counterparts from 17-20 October. In the sessions, FAIR for ALL partners used systems thinking tools such as system mapping, i5 Model, and the Iceberg model to analyse the systems and the challenges they are working with and identify gaps, where new or existing partnerships, case studies, or learning interventions can make a difference, and explore how to leverage these opportunities. The workshops were led by Karon Shaiva and co-facilitated by Deepak Nanda and 💡 Thryza Dow. Apart from being the most well-received session of the event, the workshops also set the stage for the upcoming systems learning trajectory for the global teams and regional partners. FAIR for ALL is a consortium comprised of Oxfam Novib, Huairou Commission, Third World Network (TWN)-Africa and SOMO will implement this 5-year programme with funding from the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) under its Power of Voices subsidy framework. Recognizing the complexity of global value chains and challenges, this coalition has consciously assembled partners with a diversity of tools and capacities to approach the problem with multiple tactics and strategies and to create influential spaces to reshape global value chains. The programme has been implemented from 2021 through 2025 by over 130 organizations in 17 projects: 13 country projects (Brazil, South Africa, Mozambique, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, OPT, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar), two regional projects (Africa and Asia), Global and Netherlands projects. #SystemsThinking #FAIRforALL #GlobalPartnerships #ImpactfulChange #ReshapingValueChains #CollaborativeApproach

🍃Reflecting on an Incredible Journey 🍃 For most of my life, I often didn’t fully recognize the significance of my achievements when opportunities came my way. But over the past seven months, my life has transformed drastically. I am deeply honored to have been selected for the YALI Hybrid Cohort 23, even though I couldn’t attend the in-person meetings due to passport delays. This opportunity, among many others, has been a testament to the incredible path I’ve been on. During these months, I’ve had the chance to volunteer with Global Awareness 360 as a project management staff member, which has been immensely fulfilling. I was also selected as a Campus Corp Fellow for Copper Rose Zambia and an Aspire Young Leader Fellow, both experiences that have enriched my journey. Furthermore, being part of the Commonwealth People’s Forum and participating in youth initiatives like the Youth Power and YouthLead organizations through USAID has been nothing short of amazing. These workshops and meetings have broadened my horizons in ways I never thought possible. As someone who initially aspired to become a medical doctor but found myself in public health, I now see that this path was meant for me. Indeed, God knew why He placed me in this field. I’ve learned that I am capable of so much more than I ever imagined, and that there are greater plans unfolding for me. Seeing my peers celebrate their achievements and realizing I am among them, fuels my motivation. It reminds me that I am somebody out there making a difference. Moral of the story: Each one of us can achieve anything. The greatest superpower we possess is believing in ourselves. 🚀 Here’s to more opportunities, growth, and making a difference! 💫 #AchievementUnlocked #GrowthJourney #BelieveInYourself #PublicHealth #Leadership #Opportunities #YALI #AspireYoungLeader #CommonwealthPeoplesForum #YouthPower #USAID

As South Africa stands on the cusp of a significant shift in the domain of skills development, the introduction of the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) heralds a new era designed to enhance the quality and relevance of vocational training and education. This change mandates a strategic realignment of corporate training objectives and methodologies, underlining the importance of collaboration among stakeholders to streamline efforts and maximize the impact of educational interventions. Harnessing the power of synergy between educational institutions, government bodies, and the private sector becomes vital, as it can amplify the effectiveness of programs and initiatives aimed at upskilling the workforce.Collaboration in this context is not just a buzzword but a strategic imperative, enabling entities to share resources, insights, and best practices, thereby reducing duplication and enhancing the efficiency of skills development initiatives.To successfully navigate this transition, it is essential for businesses to embrace a culture of resilience and adaptability, viewing challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation. In essence, the shift to the QCTO framework is not merely a change in regulatory requirements but an opportunity to elevate South Africa's skills development landscape to new heights.
