Continental Development Agency for the Youth- CDA
introduction to CDA
CDA will lead Sri Lanka to Vocational Training for local Artisal & Industrial Developments
The Continental Development Agency for the Youth (CDA) is an initiative designed to empower the youth of Africa and beyond through vocational training, focusing on local artisanal and industrial developments. This agency is spearheaded by the Marine Foundation, which believes in the potential of young people to become significant contributors to their societies, communities, and regions, thereby boosting the continental economy of Africa.
The CDA aims to provide a vocational ground for the education of young individuals, equipping them with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in various trades and industries. This approach is expected to not only foster personal development but also stimulate economic growth and job creation within the continent.
Funding for the CDA will come directly from the Marine Foundation Trust in Japan, ensuring that the necessary resources are available to support these vocational training programs. This financial backing is crucial, as it allows for the implementation of structured and effective training courses that can make a tangible difference in the lives of the participants and their communities.
The initiative is set to benefit youth initiatives led by courageous young leaders, such as Mbaarak in Kenya, Belinda Boha in Sierra Leone, and DJDD in the Democratic Republic of Congo, led by Gulain M. Kafuana. These groups have been pioneering efforts to uplift their communities for years, often with little or no funds. Their success in making a positive impact despite financial constraints demonstrates the potential for even greater achievements with the support of the Marine Foundation and the CDA.
In summary, the creation of the Continental Development Agency for the Youth represents a significant step towards harnessing the potential of Africa’s youth. By providing vocational training and financial support, the CDA aims to empower young people to become instrumental in the development of their communities and the broader African economy, fulfilling the Marine Foundation’s vision of a continent where youth are active contributors to societal growth and prosperity.
