SUMMARY:Navigating Uncertainty in Human Development
DESCRIPTION:On a global scale\, uncertainty has taken on many faces – the war in Ukraine\, a decline in the global Human Development Index\, economic instability\, and climate disasters\, among others – which is leading to a myriad of disruptions in day-to-day living. \nAs stated within the 2021-2022 UNDP Human Development Report\, “The hero and the villain in today’s uncertainty story are one in the same: human choice.” How can our continued choices influence our world of tomorrow? \nAs part of Canada’s International Development Week\, AKFC and Cooperation Canada are hosting an event centered on moving forward in uncertainty. The 2021-2022 UNDP Human Development Report will serve as the basis for an important discussion amongst policy makers and senior leaders in international development\, on uncertainty and the responsibilities we all have in advancing human development. \nMr. Pedro Conceição\, Head of the Human Development Report Office and Lead Author of the report\, will deliver a keynote address to highlight the key themes of the report\, followed by his participation in a panel discussion. The panel will delve into some of the report’s framing of uncertainty and the proposed way forward. \nKeynote Speaker \nPedro Conceição\, Director of the Human Development Report Office\, UNDP \nAdditional Information for Attendees \n1. In-person / Virtual Ticket: When you register\, please indicate your interest to attend in-person at the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat (199 Sussex Drive\, Ottawa) or to attend online (Zoom) by selecting the relevant ticket option for each session. \n2.

SUMMARY:Young Stars: Canadian Contributions to Amplifying Youth Voices and Closing the Gender Gap on Youth Employability
DESCRIPTION:Children Believe’s virtual panel will spotlight the issue of youth employability and highlight the achievements of the nearly completed 4-year EMPUJE Project: Closing the Gender Gap in Youth Employability. \nEMPUJE is based on a validated youth employment model focused on two main areas: improving the preparation and potential for employment or entrepreneurship for youth\, in particular young girls and women\, and improving the provision of professional training services for youth at technology centres\, with a gender focus\, and in youth-friendly and safe learning environments. \nHear from youth and experts in this field about what works at scale for youth employability and how important it is to focus on reaching and supporting girls and young women. A distinguished panel will discuss how strengthening collaborative relationships among governments\, civil society\, multi-laterals\, the private sector\, youth\, and their communities can contribute to re-imagining solutions to youth employability and gender gap challenges. \nREGISTER HERE
