The role of young people in digital innovation is essential for addressing & resolving global issues. Today we celebrate digital contributions of youth in Lesotho & encourage them to be relentless in innovation & collaboration towards achieving sustainable development.

However, there's still urgent need to enhance digital inclusion, especially for marginalised youth groups in society, so that all youths can partake in the use of technology to create solutions and drive social change.

Happy #InternationalYouthDay! With 2024's #InternationalYouthDay theme, "From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development", we are reminded that the youth is leading the charge in innovation & digital adoption.
