Country Officer, Citi Sri Lanka, Ravin Basnayake conducting a session on ‘financial literacy’ under the ‘Technopreneurship for Social Change’ programme at the National Youth Services Council Centre in Mirigama recently, highlighted the importance of making informed decisions on financial resources to budding entrepreneurs.

“Technology to us is the fourth revolution in the world, and we believe that it has the capacity to uplift the lives of people in a way that no other movement is able to. By empowering people to reach markets and access technologies, we can build entrepreneurship skills among our youth,” he said

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Sri Lanka has partnered with the National Youth Services Council (NYSC), Citi and Cisco to conduct e-learning programmes in 20 locations to build on the national priority for strengthening the knowledge of approximately 1000 youth to contribute to the sustainable development of the country.

The programme has been successfully completed in four locations - Dehiwala, Chilaw, Elpitiya and Mirigama.
