Youth leadership and ownership are pivotal for sustainable community engagement and development. To ensure youth-driven initiatives are effective and impactful, a robust monitoring mechanism is essential.
On July 1, 2024, Youth for Policy convened a workshop bringing together youth volunteers from various regions. The objective was to collaborate on developing a comprehensive monitoring mechanism tailored to their unique activities and challenges.
During the workshop, volunteers identified key challenges in current monitoring processes, including lack of consistency, limited resources, and communication barriers. Through collaborative sessions, they brainstormed potential solutions and best practices to overcome these obstacles.
Looking ahead, Youth for Policy plans to implement this monitoring mechanism across all youth-led initiatives, with regular reviews and updates to ensure it meets the evolving needs of the volunteers. This effort underscores the organization’s commitment to fostering youth leadership and ownership, paving the way for more effective and impactful community projects.
