We have designated April 2023 as the month of the social media (Facebook) engagement to promote HR and increasing youth followers to have more impact. The engagement includes competition/challenges, information updates and consultative workshops. This workshop is part of reaching wider stakeholders to build consensus among key stakeholder leadership and the youth so that HR promotion and protection issues gain the concerted efforts of the broader range of societies.
