Background on the “Building Back Better” Movement launched by Unilever MENA
COVID-19 has not only been a global health emergency but has triggered a massive economic, social, and humanitarian crisis. The MENA economy is estimated to have contracted by ~3.3% in 2020.
COVID-19 has also had a huge impact on all of you youth in terms of education, employment, mental health, and income. Accounting for two thirds of the region’s population, you will continue to shoulder many of the long-term economic and social consequences of this crisis.
You have the potential to become agents of change, acting for a more prosperous and stable future both for yourselves and your communities. But unleashing this potential requires education and empowerment.
As a company committed to making sustainable living commonplace, Unilever aims to support MENA Youth to become agents of change through a series of events and initiatives, inspiring & empowering you all to become sustainability influencers.
