Launching Generation Unlimited Sahel

Unveiling a new vision for the Sahel

123

Join us at the official launch of GenU Sahel!

Sahel's youth are key to driving economic growth, creating sustainable green economies, and engendering peace in the region. They have what it takes to build a better Sahel, but we must give them the ladders of opportunity they require to create lasting change. They need relevant skills, and they need opportunities for employment, entrepreneurship, and social impact.
