Section 20 sets the youths agenda for the rights of youths in Zimbabwe by stating that the State and its institutions and agencies at every level must take reasonable measures, including affirmative action to ensure that youths:

  • Have access to education and training;
  • Have opportunity to associate and to be represented and participate in political, social; economic and other spheres of life;
  • Afforded opportunities for employment and other avenues to economic empowerment;
