youth people should be given a chance.

[Guest guest]

statistics shows that the youths contribute to almost 60 percent of

the HIV/AIDS positive.yet looking at the people in the frontline in

the campaigns the structures put into place only allow for one youth

representatives in the committees.the wise saying goes as, " the owner

of the shoe knows where it pinches most " . therefore let the young

people be given the chance to champion for the priority intervention

and the issues they think are good for them to realise the change of

their behavior.

secondly let us try and use a people centred approach in community

development rather instead of the product centred approach whereby we

design a proposal and mobilize for funds without the communities

knowledge. this always poses the problem of ownership and also

interferes with the actual impact the project is designed to

achieve.let the young people propose this ideas ,design the

strategies,implement the project and evaluate what they have

achieved.they might not be qualified but remember in normal life it

is not what you know that matters, rather it is what you do with the

knowledge the knowledge that counts.
