Sunday, 03 Monday 2023 (PW) — This paper highlights the importance of education and community collaboration in preparing the youths of the Republic of South Sudan for leadership in the future. The study identifies challenges that hinder youth contributions, such as ethnic divisions, inequitable resource distribution, and unemployment, which hamper social, economic, and political development in the post-reconstruction stage following successive wars. To illustrate the roles of education, community collaboration, and challenges in preparing youths for leadership, the study used a literature review from Google Scholar. The findings indicate that preparing youths for leadership requires investment in both formal and informal education that instils the values, norms, standards, and beliefs necessary for effective leadership, starting from infancy. The study concludes that education and community collaborations are crucial in preparing youths for future leadership, as they determine the youths’ potential and their involvement in the country’s economic, political, and social development.
