About the meeting
Selected excerpts from the outcome document:
- We, UNESCAP, Foundation for strengthening Human Skills, National Youth Services Council of Sri Lanka, organized the National Workshop to test and apply the Youth Policy Toolbox in Sri Lanka for the raising of levels of engagement of youth in the policy making process
- On behalf of the Youth population we from different youth based organizations, government agencies and non-profits gathered to discuss and identify the challenges and solutions and the uses of the Youth Policy Tool Box to overcome such challenges and to work hand in hand towards achieving the solutions.
- We are resolved to introduce the Youth Policy Toolbox as a bridge between the youth of Sri Lanka and the entities that form the countries policy making tiers and to work towards achieving harmony and effective communication between the masses to ensure youth concerns are addressed as well as to integrate novel methods that the Youth community can provide.
- We are committed to introducing the findings we make today towards bridging the School to work transition that is apparent in today’s youth and work with different stakeholders both government and private to find solutions that can be integrated with a sustainable process.
- We are resolved to ensure and uphold the Sustainable Development Goals which work towards the 2030 agenda and in particular the goals 4th and 8th, Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunity for all and Promote sustain inclusive and sustainable economic growth for productivity in employment and decent work for all.
- We are committed to not just empowering the youth and brining un-employment down but to also improve upon the quality and the decentness of the type of work and employment the youth are involved in. We hope to achieve this by drawing on the aspirations of the youth and working with different industries to identify skills in demand and then transferring such skills to the youth via meticulous training.
- We reaffirm our commitment to raise the levels of co-ordination between different youth based institutions and policy making initiatives to ensure effective channels of communications are in place and to enable best practices of organizations to be adhered across board.
