Youth empowerment is lacking

The Botswana Gazette: Does it make sense for the government to be sponsoring us (young people) to run businesses, and not support those businesses to grow? Government officials always leave facilities (youth businesses in villages) such as printing and promotional companies and go to Gaborone to use established private companies. I always see some of the government websites and newsletters that are not appealing nor interesting or user friendly done by a certain company that always wins the (publishing) tenders. My suggestion is that when it comes to websites, the government should let the youth present what they can do. They can do as the Botswana Telecommunications Corporation did with the telephone directory cover. It just specified their requirements on how they want it been done, where they specified what they wanted done and then sent it out to the public to come up with the design.
