Background |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Project Title Project Description The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognizes the important role of youth in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs or Global Goals) and calls for action against the challenges faced by young people that limits their economic, social and political inclusion. Today, young people are more connected, more creative, more informed and more persuasive than any previous generation. Young people are responding to the challenges of the day with innovative approaches, contributing fresh ideas, creating the world they want, and driving human development for themselves, their communities and their societies. But at the same time, approximately 300 million young people are either unemployed or underemployed . In other words, nearly half of the 700 million young people in the region face economic insecurity. In addition, many young people are left out of decision-making process, which further contributes to their marginalization and exclusion.
2) Regional Youth Project on Leadership, Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Youth Co: Lab) The Regional Youth Project on Leadership, Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Youth CoLab) is UNDP’s multi-dimensional and multi-level response to tackle the challenges of young people, including the most marginalized, face today in the Asia-Pacific region. Its main objective is to “establish a common agenda for Asia-Pacific countries to invest and empower youth to accelerate implementation of the Global Goals through social innovation and entrepreneurship”. Specifically, the project focuses on establishing a network to foster youth-led social entrepreneurship, supporting youth leadership initiatives, and providing grants for incubation financial mechanisms to fund youth-led programmes aimed at achieving the SDGs.
3) Youth Co:Lab Springboard Programme The underlying main causes for this challenge, as identified by the Youth Co:Lab Theory of Change, are a lack of availability and impact of business support services for young social entrepreneurs, weak individual capabilities and social networks for young social entrepreneurs, and a lack of enabling environment, including relevant policies, regulations and financing mechanisms.
