Interestingly, this is only an amplification of already prevailing situations of poor social security, reduced funding, capital generation and increasing unemployment before the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The downside of the pandemic effects on youth enterprises is therefore worth noting. These businesses stand the risk of losing funding opportunities since funds are now being diverted. In addition, there has been reduced work hours in the event of the lockdown and the drastic reduction in market prices for products. These consequently resulted in the collapse of businesses with inevitable accompanying effects of job losses and crippling of economies.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, there are inspiring stories of young entrepreneurs innovating to support their communities and families, driving their businesses forward despite the pandemic. While this is a crisis situation, it can also be seen as a window of opportunity to promote innovation, ensure sustained business strategies, strengthen the resilience of youth enterprises and improve partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>It is in this vein that we roll out this initiative to mitigate these challenges and ameliorate the innovations of youth businesses in the face of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSfitIbefpuUedbQijwpeIiPhqxNvP91qAAFzoot14dcEdKADw\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register Now for the CYC Youth Entrepreneurs Support (YES) Initiative<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For More Information:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/commonwealthyouthcouncil.com\/youth-entrepreneurs-support-yes-initiative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visit the Official Webpage of the CYC Youth Entrepreneurs Support (YES) Initiative<\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, if you have any Feeling regarding the\u00a0<strong><b>Commonwealth Youth Council<\/b><\/strong><strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>Please kindly DROP A COMMENT below and we will respond to it as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please help others by sharing this post on any social media.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div><div class=\"aa-end\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commonwealth Youth Council application form | How to apply.
