Celebrating the 9th annual National Youth Festival | MORNING AT NTV
Over the years, numerous youth celebrations have taken place, including the recently concluded International Youth Day festivities. Thus, the 9th Annual National Youth Festival serves as a post-International Youth Day Celebration. Uganda holds the distinction of being the world's second youngest country in terms of population, with a rate of 48.5%, following Niger. According to research conducted by the Brookings Institute, over 70% of Uganda's population consists of young people. Regrettably, more than 83% of these youths, aged between 15 and 24, remain unemployed regardless of their educational attainment—an issue of paramount concern worldwide, underscoring the significance of this occasion. We are joined by Ashraf Kakaire, Membership Manager at Open Space.
