THE EXPERT TAKE : My youth is my superpower | United Nations

Today's youth generation is the largest the world has ever seen. Half of the world's population is under 30 and this is expected to reach 57 per cent by the end of 2030. Nearly 90 per cent of the world’s youth live in developing countries. They are often the majority in conflict-affected areas. In this Expert Take, one of Africa’s youngest-ever cabinet ministers at 26, Botswana’s Honourable Minister for Youth and Gender Affairs Lesego Chombo, talks about her journey that showcases the immense potential within younger generations and demonstrates how youth can drive significant political change. Chombo isn't just breaking barriers; she's actively showing other young people that their voices matter and that they, too, can step up and shape the future.
