overnment’s 'Seeds of Success' empowerment programme continues to gain popularity following the training of new program trainers.
Spearheaded by the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the programme introduces various methods of empowerment skills including training for Fiji’s youth population.
The Ministry’s permanent secretary Mr Josefa Sania recently opened a five day training program for new trainers and highlighted that there is room for more trainings in the future.
"The programme that has been delivered to hundreds of young people throughout the country needs a pool of high quality external trainers," Mr Sania said.
"We have found out that the 'Seeds of Success' Programme is one of the programmes that is well suited to prepare our youths to become better citizens of tomorrow”, he explained.
In November last year, the Seeds of Success program was identified at the United Nations Regional Pacific Child Protection meeting as a driving force towards addressing Fiji’s child protection country plan.
Mr Sania also pointed out that a stronger interest from stakeholders and various communities demonstrate a growing desire to empower young people. He pointed out that this was also an indication of the success of this progamme and its effectiveness in empowering Fiji’s youth population.
Trainers for the 'Seeds of Success' programme have been identified and selected and new nineteen trainers are expected to receive certificates at the end of the five day training.
