The Youth Grow Activity (YGA) is an innovative five-year (2023-2028) project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and is implemented by Q2 Impact and its partners. YGA aims to empower youth in Jordan by emphasizing the need for positive youth development (PYD), not only for youth themselves but for society at large. The YGA focuses on three core objectives: (1) preparing youth for economic opportunities through providing access to high-quality online career counseling and entrepreneurship information; (2) strengthening youth leadership through targeted support of local youth-led organizations (YLO) and youth-serving organizations (YSO) and (3) strengthening Government of Jordan (GoJ) systems to guarantee effective youth participation, create youth-inclusive and enabling environment, and enhance the accessibility and quality of government systems and services to better cater for youth social and economic empowerment. In partnership with the Ministry of Youth, the YGA launches the Youth Initiatives Hackathon, which aims to present solutions and services contributing to resolving societal issues affecting young people in Jordan, aged between 10 - 29 years. The hackathon includes an opportunity to develop and improve initiative ideas through training and mentorship. Exceptional initiatives will be selected through a specialized judging committee. YGA seeks qualified mentors to provide guidance and support to youth groups in the development of their technical, financial, and implementation plans for their initiatives.

On the eve of the UN's International Day for Women and Girls in ICT, I had the honor of appearing as a guest on Voice of America Deewa's show - Bibi Shireena! As the world advances with Industry 5.0, a spotlight shines on the Pashtoon women of Pakistan and Afghanistan. These courageous women are overcoming numerous challenges to make their mark in the field of ICT. The modern world demands innovative approaches to problem-solving and equipping people with the right skills to join the dynamic workforce. Our KP Women Civic Digital Internship Program is a prime example of such innovation. Addressing mobility issues, cultural barriers, lack of daycare centres, transportation challenges, and skill gaps, this women-only remote internship program is a collaboration between Code for Pakistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Technology Board (KPITB), and The World Bank, with support from Ufone 4G and Zong CMPak Ltd. The two cycles of the program have achieved a 94% graduation rate and nearly a 50% employment rate within the first year of completion! These brave Pashtoon women, whether they are daughters, sisters, wives, or mothers, hailing from remote districts such as Dir, Buner, Upper & Lower Chitral, Mohmand Agency, and Orakzai Agency, have embarked on a journey of self-improvement and empowerment as they enter the ICT workforce. As these women defy challenges to enter the workforce and empower their communities, it becomes a shared responsibility of policymakers, community mobilizers, technology leaders, and hiring experts to design inclusive policies that address their unique challenges. Tune in to my discussion with VoA Deewa to hear more about the challenges faced by Pashtoon women and the support they can receive from individuals, communities, women role models, and policymakers!

The research problem of the study was summarized in the following question: To what extent can the Egyptian family effectively participate in the identifying and nurturing of gifted children in Egypt? To answer this question, the study utilized the case study approach by using in-depth interviews and observation methods, among others. The study sample included 21 gifted children, 21 parents, and 5 leaders who are working in the gifted institutions. This study concluded that the role of the Egyptian family in identifying and nurturing talent is fundamental and complementary to the roles provided by governmental and private institutions.
