The UAE was founded in 1971.And is made of seven Emirates That include Abu Dhabi as the capital city and Dubai as the as the economic capital.It has a population of approximately 10 million. With 90 percent being experts. Those Express are foreigners who come to live and study and work in the UA. as the Percentage shows the UA Nationals account For 10 percent of the population.

The government's national youth Agender's vision is for future ready youth Who relies their full potential and embody UAE character?
The federal youth Authority has three strategic objectives, divided into 11 priorities, which I will briefly talk about. The first strategic objective is nurturing character through shaping and nourishing imarati Youth by in instilling values and National pride raising a wireness and equipmenting them with capabilities and competencies within the framework of developing skills the UAE has launched Advanced and diverse training programs that contribute significantly to preparing young people for future challenges and contributing into achieving sustainable development. The Emirates youth professional school provide practical courses and training programs in various sectors.

It is this regard that the youth HABS where initiated they are state of Art coragolative works and conviniate spaces that connect young people throughout UAE resources and ecosystem for draft the HABS are run by youth, designed by youth and developed by youth, they cater for youth in the age of 15 to 35years old irrespective wheather they are studying or working, another initiatative in the youth launched path, which meets young entrepreneurs. Where they are to lift them off to where they are going. The startups are taught entrepreneurial skills and given up to six months of free storefront space throughout the UAE largest shopping centers,Airports e cultural attractions to test their products and services. The third strategic objective. Focuses on how to maximize participation of Youth in different sectors. Through establishing and enabling youth councils. The UAE government is pursuing unique approach to represent, engage and Empower Youth by creating a bridge between youth and decision makers.
They include programs such as imarati's youth Global initiative which is the umbrella function for the UA youth initiatives abroad. The youth circles and initiative to inspire youth Centric dialogue across a variety of areas, forced sustainable, engagement with youth to shape innovative solutions for global challenges. In 2019, ten Rwandan students were given full scholarships to persue their bachorals degree programs at sorbone Abu Dhabi University, since 2002 the UAE through the Alma 2 Foundation has supported Rwanda's education by funding two secondary schools For the last 16 years, the UAE through the Khalifa Benz Foundation, Has also been, 100% funding, the Islamic, secondly for Sciences and the Islamic culture Center?
This, you know, is they called Gaddafi Center which is not Center, it is now a UAE senator and the school accepts students from all fields, From all electricities. And I happen to meet some ministers. In the government who told me they were Christians. Who told me? They finished their high school from just Islamic school.Going beyond use empowerment through education, and June, 2019, the UA government signed with the government for RWanda and Morandan understanding to fascinate labor, Mobility between Rwanda, and the and the United Emirates allowing skills for one dance to access job opportunities in the United Arab Emirates through exchange of Workforce, as well as transfer of skills and knowledge.
As I conclude I want to tell you that. I know most of the youth Empowerment initiatives. I have talked about have also been implemented by the government of Rwanda And it is up to you the youth to take advantage of them. I encourage you and the leaders of this University to look into implementing them here at the University because they allow the youth and leaders to work together and inspire each other to reach greater Heights.
