Young residents of Addis Abeba foresee a two-day skills-building boot camp on technology, business, communications and health. The Youth Festival is part of a five-year initiative by USAID that launched a year ago to engage the youth in economic and social opportunities. It is expected to provide a space for the youth to network with policymakers and prominent personalities in the business field, with an entertainment section featuring young musicians such as Rophnan. This is the third event following regional festivals in Hawassa and Bahirdar that engaged over 5,000 youth in dialogues, arts, sports and job fairs. It will take place at Millennium Hall at the end of April 2023, organized by Amerf Health Africa, in partnership with the Ministry of Women & Social Affairs.
