President Daniel Noboa has announced a significant investment of $180 million for the "Jóvenes en Acción" (Youth in Action) program in Ecuador. This initiative aims to provide economic incentives to 150,000 young beneficiaries, marking a substantial commitment to youth development in the Andean nation.

During the program's inauguration in Quito, Noboa stated that the 150,000 available slots represent a direct investment of $180 million flowing into the hands of young people, equating to $60 million per month. This financial support is intended to bolster the capabilities of young Ecuadoreans and foster their active participation in society.

Beneficiaries who registered between June 16 and June 30 with the Ministry of Human Development and met the established requirements will receive $400 monthly for a period of three months. The program's core objective is to strengthen youth capacities, promote their active engagement, and enhance their socioeconomic development through training activities and temporary income.

Noboa emphasized that supporting young people was a fundamental part of his administration's plan. "It was a fundamental part of our plan: to give young people opportunities, to give them employment and also a sense of purpose and a future outlook," the president affirmed, highlighting the program's role in providing direction and future prospects for the nation's youth.
