We are out to forge new synergies and effective partnerships among youth organizations, government and the private sector. In the end we shall have confident and empowered young people ready to take on challenges they and society face.Further, the National Youth Organization shall build an operational knowledge base to influence youth mainstreaming. There is need to create institutional framework for participation of youth in various fora. Youth needs and aspirations must be incorporated right from initial stages of policy planning and implementation. Innovative ways must be engaged to enable and increase youth access to the resources and opportunities they need to create sustainable livelihoods and projects. In liaison with stakeholders we shall set a youth responsive development agenda at national, regional and local levels.
