PCDP pays significant attention to youth engagement in matters affecting future generations.
At PCDP, we believe that youths are an essential part of the leadership for a sustainable future, and we support them to
ensure that our future generations remain resilient and adaptive to climate change. Involving young people in climate
change and economic empowerment will help us to enhance economic resilience amid climate change impacts, which have affected
most people, leading to generational poverty. By doing so, PCDP will positively participate in making a more resilient and
adaptive future generation to climate change.
Objective
• To ensure that youths have control over things that affect them and promote inclusion at community levels as part of
the vulnerable groups.
PCDP ensures youth engagement by facilitating them to start economic activities such as farming, especially by educating
them on water harvesting through dam liners, providing them with trees for planting and chicken for poultry farming. Also,
involving youths in tree planting activities and supporting them with essential education for adaptive agriculture helps to
ensure that they are part and parcel of PCDP’s vision to improve the health, economic and social well-being of communities.
This helps to mitigate family conflicts that may be escalated by climate change impacts especially due to lack of sustainable
economic activities and heightened stress.
