Government
has told youths to use all available resources and opportunities in the
country to overcome unemployment instead sitting idle and keep on
throwing heaps of blames to their governments.
Minister of Information, Youth, Sports and Culture Dr Fenella Mukangara made a call yesterday in Dar-es-Salaam during the opening of the International Youth Camp whereby youths from different parts of the world meet to discuss different issues facing them in the contemporary world.
“You the youths you need to change mind set and use the available opportunities and resources at your exposal to change your lives and communities instead of blaming your governments over unemployment,” she advised.
According to Mukangara the government can employ only 20 percent of university graduates, leaving the 80 per cent unemployed.
Mukangara said the government understands its duty of helping youths to achieve their dreams and it is ready to help them change their perspectives.
She said youths can only overcome various challenges facing them like unemployment by only uniting and form entrepreneurial groups, venture and work together in different areas of life.
Dr Mukangara said since the country is implementing “Kilimo Kwanza Policy,” it is the right time for the youths to fully engage in the agricultural sector where there are still abundant opportunities that can be used to develop them and national as well.
The development of any country is not the task of the government only, but every individual has the role to play towards the development of his country; and youths, in particular have a significant role to play in this.
She urged youths through the different formed organisations to start utilising the available financial institutions such as VICOBA, FINCA and Youth Development Fund, because by using them effectively their lives would be transformed
However, the minister has warned youths to shun away from being puppets of politicians for their own interest through the ladder of unemployment, but rather called them to change their mindsets.
On his part, the Director of the International Youth Fellowship in Tanzania, Joen Hee Yong said challenges were crucial since they enable people to move forward; and the youths have to take challenges facing them positively, because it is through those challenges, they get their solutions.
Yong said it is difficult for youths to develop without changing their mindsets. “Challenges usually come like strong wind, and in order for one to develop have to penetrate through that wind,” he noted.
"Challenges are inevitable and in order for the youths to develop they have to face challenges positively because by doing so it enables them to get solutions to overcome their challenges,” said Yong.
The 5th International Youth Camp that started its camp yesterday drawn about 1500 youths from around 80 countries across the world will be in Tanzania for five days.
