The Skill Our Future initiative, co-led by UNDP and other partners, aims to create digital pathways for youth, enhancing their employability and empowering them to thrive as globally engaged citizens contributing to sustainable development locally and beyond. With a marked context focus on providing opportunities for youth from underserved communities, the programme equips young people with the necessary 21st-century and digital skills they need to prepare for the future of work.
