Members of the Youth Bridge Foundation, a youth development Non Governmental Organisation, have commended government for fulfilling its promise to implement the National Youth Policy.
�The members are delighted to hear that the Government has finally approved the blue print of a National Youth Policy, which would help deal
with many challenges facing the youth,� Mr Seth Oteng, Executive Director of YBF said.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on Thursday in Accra, he said, �The youth forms a very critical constituency as far as the
country�s development is concerned. And there is the need to empower them to play their respective roles.
�It is our belief that this policy would be linked to areas that would be very useful and enable the youth to develop their capabilities,� he
added.
Mr Oteng noted that YBF�s critical mission is to ensure that the youth policy come into force as well as urged government and other relevant bodies
to push for its implementation.
�YBF exists to bridge the policy gap between the youth and government for positive development, which has been identified and executed. We are
hoping that such a policy would fill other gaps such as youth illiteracy, violence, discrimination and unemployment,� he said.
