The theme for the #IYD2020MyK
#internationalyouthday 2020 is #youthengagement, this is timely and in my opinion, we must not wait until 17th August to remember the young people.
The youth population of every nation is the most active and the most [productive] percentage

The youth population of every nation is the most active and the most [productive] percentage
of it's human capital.
As a matter of basic economics, the human factor in the production process is very valuable, such that when it is not properly developed or in short supply, the whole process us affected.

In understanding why nations differ in capabilities and wealth, as to why some nations are rich and some are poor, you may want to look at what importance a given nation attached to its Human Capital. Where you have a well developed human capital, limited resources are put into
effective use; and vice versa.
Therefore, it is important that the 2020 IYD2020MyK
#internationalyouthday focus on the selected them with all good intentions. Every nation should take the involvement or engagements of its youth population seriously,

beyond August 17th, beyond words and in doing so, I'll like to say that the UN #Youth4GlobalAction #SDG16 should be given the attention it deserves.
It's a cliche that "the youths are the leaders of tomorrow".
It's a cliche that "the youths are the leaders of tomorrow".
The idea is no longer tenable; it has failed to motivate young people and it has come to be perceived as an ideology to keep the youth in the dark and far away from the centre state, where decisions are taken daily, which are intended to serve the
interstate of the general population. This narrative, has for long, especially in African countries, kept the youth out of the decision-making process for too long, as a result, ideas from the 19th and 20th century is what determines decisions in the 21st century.
We cannot continue to do things the same way and expect different results, except if we are being mediocre.
It's time to get beyond words, and start acting. The condition of the youth around the world will not change on it's own without the right persons taking the right actions.

The youth are helpless in the absence of the enabling environment that empowers them, the youth will remain helpless, until they are given a voice and a representation. #YouthEngagement should mean the same thing universally, it should mean working closely with young people,
understanding young people, planning with young people and implementing with young people.
If kept in the dark, away from the processes that matters, then we should expect the attainment of the UN #Youth4GlobalAction #SDG16 to suffer.
