A major contributing factor to the appalling situation
of the youth in Africa is that there is and has been a shallow understanding
of, and a feeble grip on, the essential components that constitute the required
human qualities for development, and
the intensive and comprehensive nature of their development and utilisation
processes. Human security, a post-Cold War
concept, is a multi-disciplinary understanding of security involving a number
of research fields, which equates security with people rather than
territories, with development rather than arms. It is about ensuring freedom from want and freedom from fear for all persons is the
best path to tackle the problem of global insecurity refers to an emerging
paradigm for understanding global vulnerabilities that arise from unemployment
and lack of entrepreneurship.
There is simply no alternative to defining the
scope of the state and the establishment of sound institutional capacity for
real-time strategy development, sensitivity analysis, policy coordination, and
attention to the details of implementation of entrepreneurial employment.
Hence, public and private sector employment generation schemes underpin the
need for community commitment (targeting, rationalising and effecting public
works schemes) to the success of public works initiated. Participation implies
local commitment, decisions, innovativeness, resource contribution and
legitimate social capital to preside on the collective will and decisions of
community, who, at the end, determine the requisite basis that participation to
happen. The foci of the initiative are grounded on a firm conceptual base for
remunerated safety nets in developing methodology for comprehensive
self-assessment of the population and analyses of the operational capabilities:
objectives, inputs, outputs, effects and impact of employment-support projects.
In addition, it concerns outlining proposals for capacity development on
mechanism for participation that can assure sustainability. These include
building the rules and institutions of finance and the market and legal
empowerment of the poor that seeks to generate new policy recommendations that
will reduce poverty through secure, enforceable property and labour rights,
within an enabling environment that expands legal business opportunity and
access to justice.
Key words: employment, entrepreneurship, human
security
