South Africa’s youth unemployment crisis remains one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Yet, within this challenge lies the opportunity for collective action, alignment, and transformation.

That’s why YD Co-Lab, in partnership with the Presidency’s Project Management Office, is hosting a pivotal online session titled:

Igniting Alignment: Exploring PYEI Vision 2030 Together

This virtual dialogue is designed to unpack the Presidential Youth Employment Initiative (PYEI) Vision 2030 Strategy — and most importantly, to explore how youth-serving organisations, funders, government actors, and ecosystem enablers can align with and actively contribute to this national vision.

Why You Should Attend

Whether you’re a practitioner on the ground, a funder shaping strategy, or a public sector partner working to connect policy with lived experience, this session is for you.

You’ll get the chance to:

  • Hear directly from Tshego Walker, Programme Lead of the PYEI at the Presidency
  • Understand the key priorities and goals of the Vision 2030 strategy
  • Reflect on how your organisation’s work aligns with national efforts to reduce youth unemployment
  • Participate in interactive breakout discussions with peers across the youth development ecosystem
  • Contribute to a shared insights brief that will feed into the YD Co-Lab Summit in October

Who Should Attend

  • Youth-serving organisations and practitioners
  • Intermediaries and ecosystem builders
  • Funders and grantmakers supporting youth development
  • Government, policy, and research stakeholders
  • Anyone working to support young people in South Africa

The Bigger Picture

This event is more than just a conversation; it’s part of a larger journey to build a connected, collaborative, and coherent youth development ecosystem in South Africa. The insights shared during this session will directly inform our next steps as a collective, including deeper engagement at the upcoming YD Co-Lab Summit.
