[discussion_vu] Punjab Envisages Enabling Environment for Youth


Punjab Envisages Enabling Environment for Youth

The draft of Punjab government's first-ever youth policy since the federal government devolved youth affairs ministry to provinces last year, envisages creation of enabling environment for youth which could help actualise the potential of this precious human resource in a constructive way.

The government has also started involving all stakeholders, particularly civil society representatives, so as to get their feedback in order to evolve a strategy on the youth through participatory method.

In the draft made available to Dawn, the department of information, culture and youth has defined youth as a period during which a person prepares himself/herself to be an active and fully responsible member of the society.

It appreciates inclusion of 18-year olds in voters' list, saying this had brought them in the mainstream of national life and
"showed the faith of the nation in the capabilities of youth in determining its destiny".

The policy draft says the youth should be provided means and environment in which this invaluable human resource attains the optimal growth potential, equipped with the requisite character building and motivation to participate in the mainstream practical life. It considers unemployment, lack of guidance and vocational training opportunities, decline in moral values, increasing violence, absence of health counseling, awareness, recreational and sports facilities, drug abuse and limited support to academic excellence and merit etc as major challenges being faced by the youth.

According to the draft, the government plans to launch various programmes to create awareness and sense of pride among youth. It also wants character building, national integration, promotion of sports and recreation, academic and intellectual development, enabling employment, skill development, entrepreneurship through such programmes.

The draft says that the government under an action plan aims at creating a youth centric environment by integrating and coordinating the programmes of various departments and institutions.

Under the action plan it proposes arranging discussions, meetings, conventions etc, preparation of documentaries and
dissemination of useful information through media, educational institutions and other communication channels. The plan includes highlighting achievements of national heroes, arranging national and international visits for youth to monuments, museums, cities of historical importance, world renowned facilities, universities etc.

For the character building of the youth the draft seeks propagation of Islamic values, ideology of Pakistan, norms of good citizenship and human values. It also plans to conduct media programmes and talk shows, competitions and discussions involving the youth and elders, besides making films, dramas, advertisements and documentaries containing moral lessons for youngsters.

The draft also seeks arrangement of internships, on-campus jobs and job placements for the youth, besides establishing a 'Punjab Youth Council' and a 'Punjab Youth Fund' for various youth-related activities.

It acknowledges role of youth in the creation of Pakistan and expects that the young people will continue to be "vibrant, active and eager" to contribute their due share in the progress and prosperity of the nation.

"We have held a grand consultative meeting with various national and international non-governmental organisations and funding agencies, civil society representatives, government departments and others concerned bodies and they have
mentioned various areas in health, education, environment, employment and other issues missing in the policy draft," Maqbool Malick, Information, Culture and Youth Affairs department's deputy secretary told Dawn.

He said the participants representing South Asia Partnership (SAP)-Pakistan, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), British Council, Plan International, Shirkat Gah, Aurat Foundation and others urged the government to finalise the
policy by involving all stakeholders, particularly youth representatives.

[discussion_vu] Punjab Govt asked to focus on its youth

LAHORE - Plan Pakistan, a non-governmental organisation held a meeting
with key stakeholders to give them a briefing on "Adolescents
Development Policy Framework".
Advisor to Punjab Chief Minister Begum Zakia Shahnawaz chaired the
meeting that was held to share the importance of Plan Pakistan
framework's possible adoption by the Punjab government's Department of
Youth Affairs.
Dr Irfan Ahmad of Plan Pakistan said Pakistan was the sixth most
populous country in the world and currently had one of the largest
cohorts of young people in its history, with approximately 25 million
people between 15-24 years of age. "While those between 9-19 years age
are called 'adolescents' and currently a large portion of Pakistan's
population—39.5 million (2007-8) falls in the 'adolescent' category,"
he added.
He said those young ones were passing through the most vulnerable
years of their lives while maturing physically, sexually, and
psychologically. "How these years are spent, determines the rest of an
individual's life. Therefore if they are not supported and guided we
can lose a vibrant generation that can play a crucial role in future
human development," he said.
Ahmed said if there were an economic and social investment, that age
group would have the maximum potential to produce long-term, positive
benefits for themselves, their parents and their country in the
future. He said there had been government's initiatives in the past
but they always focused on youth beyond 19 years of age and as a
result the adolescents of Pakistan remained neglected.
He said the aim of the policy framework was to create an atmosphere to
help adolescents realise their full potential by assisting them in
their formative years.
"But this work needs a focus and a forum for planning and review, and
proper coordination of the multiplicity of services to meet the needs
of adolescents and finally the proposed Policy Framework will be the
document on which the Policy for Adolescent in Punjab (PAP) will be
built upon," he added. He said the Adolescents Development Policy
Framework covered five major areas including adolescents' rights,
health, education, livelihood and adolescents in crisis.
Advisor to Chief Minister Punjab Begum Zakia Shahnawaz said that
development of this framework was a great contribution of Plan
Pakistan and the Punjab government would make all its efforts to annex
this framework with Punjab Youth Policy 2011. Deputy Secretary
Planning at Youth Affairs Department Maqbool Ahmad Malick said the
Punjab government was going to introduce the draft of Punjab Youth
Policy 2011 soon and that the government was in close contact with
MPAs, different government and the non-governmental organisations in
that regard.
Senior journalist Mujeeb ur Rehman Shami said that it was the
responsibility of the media to make the general public aware about the
importance of the rights of adolescents. He said the government should
adopt a policy framework for the adolescents in Pakistan.
MPA Seemal Kamran, Standing Committee of Youth Affairs Punjab member
Aneela Akhtar Chaudhary, MPA Dr Asma Mamdot also spoke on the occasion
