Sharing Successful Programs as mini Cases: About 12 ‘effective’ and ‘innovative’ programs will be selected as case studies to be presented in a workshop setting. The purpose will be to then work with the delegates to develop program replicators tailored to the specific circumstances for each interested country.
Working together in-country: One of the goals of YES is to work with other stakeholders to build in-country capacity for absorbing new programs and other resources. The YES Inc. team will work diligently with the YES Country Leaders to build multi-stakeholder delegations to develop concrete programs and polices.
3Ps Program: In August 2007 YES launched the 3Ps program with the release of a comprehensive toolkit titled “The Three Ps: Policies, Partnerships and Programs,” to empower Country Leaders with the resources and framework necessary to implement effective and innovative programs that achieve stakeholder objectives at both the local and national levels. All the cases shared will address how the 3Ps are/were important in the development and success of their programs. The 3Ps strategy highlights three steps for addressing youth unemployment.
POLICY: Understanding country Poverty Eradication Strategies such as MDG commitments, PRSPs etc and discover ways in which promoting youth employment is/can be embedded in these strategies, to also analyze and understand the governments' and development partners' (such as donors, UN Agencies, the World Bank etc.) commitment to these strategies in terms of funds and technical support;
PARTNERS: Identifying partners and developing an action plan to support the goals of these poverty eradication strategies by bringing in a youth leadership and entrepreneurship element. It is hoped that it is these partners who will form the country delegations and attend the Summit.
PROGRAMS: Developing the programs and fine-tuning them to fit in with the existing donor and government’s financial commitment
