UNEMPLOYMENT CAMPAIGN PETITION

Africa owes its current development level to its vast mineral reserves and relatively fair governance. However, resource based economies at some point in development face the Dutch disease (otherwise known as resource curse) which is a situation where the majority of our resources are directed towards our highest income generator (in our case diamonds). Sub Saharan Africa tried to avoid this by adhering to the Hartwick rule (diversifying away from mineral reserves as the reserves near depletion). In an attempt to assist this mandate, a coalition of Youth Developemnt stakeholders have ventured into helping young entrepreneurs develop sustainable enterprises that will overcome the dynamic entrepreneurial environment and position sub Sahara as a competitor in the global markets.

An Alliance of yuth activists and development stakeholders have organized a NON-POLITICAL, NON VIOLENT campaign in order to address issues of unemployment. We therefore request you to sign this petition to help us raise awareness on the impact of unemployment on youth and the economy.
