As Co-Chair, Ashwin Yardi, CEO of Capgemini India, joins the UNICEF YuWaah Board

YuWaah (Generation Unlimited India) in India announced that Ashwin Yardi, CEO of Capgemini in India, comes on board to be the co-chair of YuWaah, effective immediately along with Yasumasa Kimura, UNICEF Representative a.i who is the co-chair of YuWaah.  

KEY POINTS:

The YuWaah Board would now function as a decision-making body and consist primarily of founding partners and board members who would be committing time and resources to support the YuWaah Secretariat for funding and functional expertise. They will play a key role to influence strategy and execution of YuWaah over a longer period as well as actively craft shared-value partnership with Governments & Private Sectors to truly build a collaborative platform.

YuWaah has set a lofty goal of enlisting 300 young people as changemakers. Bold strategies and quick actions will be required to achieve this goal.

The new YuWaah Board will work to provide the essential tools and assistance to youth in India, particularly those who are most marginalised, so that they can effectively traverse the challenges of the twenty-first century.

Every year, four YPAT members join the board of directors to ensure that their community is well-represented.
