    Social entrepreneurship is an essential piece of the puzzle in this quest to improve job prospects for African youth, and also to reduce poverty, and promote economic growth at a critical time for our region.

    With well over 200 million youth in Africa - a population that is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years - addressing barriers to gainful youth employment must be a top priority for all sectors of society.

    ”In the larger perspective we ought to talk more on the way we look upon children; do we really see them as being their own actors? Do they have a voice? Or are we just seeing them as a possession of their parents? The adult world can learn a great deal from children if we just open our eyes and ears”
    Elin Wernquist
    ”I think a lot of the work in preventing child abuse has to do with changing norms. I believe that Sweden has taken a leading position in this work and should be seen as a role model to other countries. Children are not just a possession of their parents, they are their own individuals, whose well-being lies in the interest of the whole society”
