Solomon Islands’ youth population is not participating well in the country.
Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Traditional Governance, Peace and Ecclesiastical Affairs (MTGPEA) Lottie Vaisekavea raised this at a recent “Peacebuilding and Security Dialogue”.
He expressed that we have to do something about the youth population not participating well in the country.
“We have to open a door for them, allow them to become the mainstream.”
He stated that Solomon Islands has to be ready for young people in the sense of placing their dreams, hopes and faith in the centre of our peacebuilding initiatives.
“Allow them to be the leaders of their capacity.”
He also stated that our traditional leaders, elders both men and women and youth have played important roles in human security.
Vaisekavea added that the roles they carried out in the past have ensured us peace and we must honour and acknowledge this moving forward to establish long-lasting peace for our future.
