Background |
|||||||||||||||
The Solomon Islands National Development Strategy (NDS) 2016-2035 recognizes a visionary pathway to improving the social and economic livelihoods of all Solomon Islanders. It sets out a framework for development policies, priorities and programmes, providing a single reference point and common direction over the next twenty years that all stakeholders can follow. Several NDS objectives cover youth such as Objective 2 which focuses on poverty alleviation and the equitable provision of basic services. Another priority relates to the promotion of inclusive and effective partnerships with all relevant stakeholders.
In line with the Government’s priorities identified in the NDS and as part of its efforts to strengthen the participation of young people in national development process, the National Parliament together with the Ministry of Women, Youth, Children and Family Affairs organized the first National Youth Parliament Program in September 2009. The model was ‘School Based’ so 50 senior students from the 50 constituencies in Solomon Islands were brought into Honiara to participate. Senior high schools in the constituencies conduct debate competition, some speech competitions and the best student get selected to participate in the Youth Parliament program. Some constituencies do not have senior high schools thus sent in students from Community High Schools (CHS).
It was evident from the outcome of the first NYP that both students and teachers appreciate the program as it helps senior secondary students understand in detail the working of Parliament which was covered in their social science syllabus. The success of this first NYP paved the way for succeeding forums which is held every 2 years (2012, 2014 and 2016) which followed the same school-based model as first NYP. In 2018, the National Youth Parliament Committee decided to host the first “Community Based” model which was very successful with youths from different fields and works of life participating. The working committee is made up of selected staff from the Youth Division, Ministry of Women Youth, Children and Family Affairs and staff from the Education Unit, National Parliament of Solomon Islands.
The next NYP was scheduled for September 2020, however with the Covid-19 pandemic, the program has been postponed to 20201. To date the program has been running for ten years.
