MTN South Sudan has launched
Shabab Nation in Juba, introducing an initiative aimed at creating
opportunities for young South Sudanese to connect, express themselves, develop
their talents and pursue new opportunities.
The launch, held in Juba,
marks the beginning of a programme that seeks to provide a platform for young
people to showcase their abilities, engage with their peers and transform their
ambitions into practical action.
MTN South Sudan described
Shabab Nation as more than a launch, positioning it as a movement designed to
create space for youth participation and talent development.
The initiative is expected
to bring young people together around opportunities for connection, creativity
and personal development while providing a platform through which they can
contribute to South Sudan's evolving social and economic landscape.
The telecommunications
company said the initiative will be built collectively with young people,
emphasising their role in shaping its direction and impact.
The launch comes as youth
empowerment and skills development remain important areas for expanding
opportunities for young people in South Sudan.
