Abstract
In partnership with the EYCG these
institutions organized the capacity building workshop
Youth: linking policy to participation, from November 23 to
27, 2007. The workshop was planned as a response to the
needs articulated by EYCG members. But it also aimed to
follow up the recommendations developed at the youth
sessions of the fifth MENA Development Forum, held in April
2006 in Beirut. At this forum youth discussed obstacles and
solutions for more youth participation in economic, social
and political reforms in the region and the lack of
knowledge on how to interact with decision makers was one of
the key needs identified. To strengthen the exchange of
local and regional experiences the workshop brought together
members of Egyptian youth organizations and youth groups and
youth representatives from youth organizations from Algeria,
Jordan, Yemen and Djibouti. Objectives of the workshop:
Provide youth organizations with knowledge on the conceptual
framework and process of national policy development in
general and on the potential of young people s participation
in the process in particular. Provide skills and tools for
channeling national youth participation in policy
formulation, implementation and monitoring and thus
consolidate youth representation in decision making
committees. Provide knowledge on important concepts such as
Human Rights, Good Governance and Asset-Based approach.
Provide a platform for regional exchange on youth
participation and its possibilities to contribute to
development in the MENA region. Strengthen regional youth
networks and their capacity to cooperate and exchange
relevant information.
