Youth Development Programme
The Youth Development Programme (YDP) will assist Mongolia in building the resilience of young men and women and reducing their vulnerability in the face of rapid social and economic change. It will focus on youth in mining areas, and vulnerable young men and women in urban areas and the Western aimags. The Programme will enhance the life-skills of 244,000 young men and women, equipping them with skills for a responsible and resilient life.

| Contesto |
The recent rapid minerals-based economic development brings new wealth and opportunities to Mongolia, but also increased risks and vulnerabilities for youth. The educational and health systems are not in a position to assist youth to cope with the negative impacts of speedy urbanisation and deepening social fragmentation. The Government of Mongolia (GoM) started reforms in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector to enhance the technical skills of youth, but realised that there are crucial gaps. In order to lead a healthy and successful life, youth need to develop their soft skills and knowledge to communicate clearly and effectively, take initiative, solve problems and constructively negotiate and deal with conflict. Life-skills training gives young people the tools to make informed choices in their lives and to respect the choices and rights of others. Young people who lack such skills are more likely to partake in risky behaviour, including actions that adversely affect their sexual and reproductive health and professional opportunities. Hence, the GoM has requested UNFPA - a leading agency in human development topics - to assist in developing a comprehensive Youth Development Policy and in piloting life-skills in aimags with important mining activities, in hubs for academic and vocational training, and in poorer aimags to the West and East of the country. |
| Obiettivi |
Young men and women with strengthened life-skills for positive, responsible and self-reliant behaviour The project aims to provide youth with life-skills which will not only help young people become more resilient and reduce their personal vulnerability, but also to increase their employability and enable them to participate actively in Mongolia’s rapid economic growth, rather than become marginalized, frustrated and excluded. |
