These are thousands of people who will try to rebuild their lives. In Uganda, I believe it is possible if there is adapted support given to the government and implementing partners like @_UnleashedUG. We commit to supporting #refugees build personal, social & economic resilience.

As young #refugee leaders continue to dream, it is crucial to have stakeholders standing with them as they make the dreams a reality. Our dream is to see the refugees, and African young people #unleash their potentials and engage in sustainable social and economic development.
At the #SummitOfTheFuture High-level Dialogue on Young Refugees’ Participation, Leadership & Self-Reliance, @LThompson and @MafigiVictor highlight the critical importance of promoting decent work, inclusive labour markets and meaningful engagement for forcibly displaced youth.
