| description |
Afghanistan has one of the youngest
populations in the world, with two-thirds of the population
being below the age of 25. Afghan youth are critical to the
development of their country and have the potential to be
drivers of peace and prosperity. However, they face various
barriers to participation, across social and economic
domains. Slow economic growth and continued fragility
exacerbate the challenge of youth inclusion, particularly in
the fields of employment and service delivery. In recent
years, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan
and development partners have invested in several
initiatives to bolster the inclusion of youth. One of these
initiatives is the creation of ‘Youth Sub-Committees’ of
Community Development Councils under the Citizens’ Charter
Afghanistan Project. Based on conversations with almost two
hundred Afghan youth, including YSC members, this study
firstly examines pathways to inclusion for Afghan youth, and
secondly the potential for YSCs to assist in this project. |
