               Lamiaa Khairat delivered a session titled ‘UNDP Shababeek Youth Project,’ highlighting the

               significance of youth initiatives in the Arab world. She discussed various initiatives undertaken

               poverty, reduce inequality and exclusion, and enhance crisis management capabilities, enabling
               countries to sustain their progress. Khairat also underscored how the UNDP assists nations

               in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and highlighted the program’s focus on
               addressing key deterrents to human development in the Arab region.

               progress of Arab youth in the international labor market and emphasized the importance of

               drawing inspiration from the exemplary young role models showcased during the YKF. He
               reiterated the vital role youth engagement in volunteering initiatives plays in enhancing their

               prospects.


               He encouraged Arab youth to leverage opportunities provided by the UNDP in cooperation

               with its partners, especially the FutureSkills4all initiative, which aims to equip Arab youth with
               essential digital and professional skills to help them secure lucrative job opportunities.

               developmental organizations across Egypt. The event sparked productive discussions on
