Involving young people in the design and execution of Summit
activities, as well as many civil society representatives,
the conference was a 'Call to Action' for all segments of
society to consider the growing population of young people
worldwide, especially in Africa, Latin America and Asia and
how they will achieve sustainable livelihoods or employment
as they make the transition to adulthood.
Ministers of Youth and Ministers of Labor together with Ministerial
Delegations from over 70 countries participated in the Alexandria
Youth Employment Summit 2002. This significant component of
the Alexandria Youth Employment Summit provided a platform
for dialogue on the YES thematic areas and regional strategies.
These sessions were extremely useful in initiating discussions
on government policies, practices, and innovations to develop
the Alexandria Declaration and the shared commitment and vision
to adopt the Framework for Action and promote youth employment.
The Ministerial Forum provided Ministers with the opportunity
to meet and develop relations with youth country networks
and various stakeholders
