Description:
YES-Burundi is a national multi-stakeholder network involved in promoting youth employment in Burundi. The network was established in 2003 after the Alexandria summit, and is built upon a growing Global Alliance to counter the various forms of unemployment amongst the youth through concerted and sustained action.
YES-Burundi’s vision is to facilitate the full and relevant employment of youth so that they can realize their full potential as individuals and collectively as members of society through economic, political and social action. The network sees societies in which young people are key contributors to the well being and sustainable development of the societies and cultures in which they live and of the global community as a whole.
Objectives:
YES Burundi has developed a strategic plan aimed at building the capacity of the YES Network to realise the local objectives related to the unemployment challenge in Burundi. These objectives include:
1. To build the capacity of at least 30% of the young people (youth) in Burundi
2. To influence all relevant legal and policy making processes in Burundi to ensure they are pro-youth employment
3. To enhance networking and strategic partnerships at local, regional and global levels
4. To mobilize resources to build the internal capacity of Burundi
The objectives are very closely linked with the YES Campaign Framework for Action. Three primary approaches have been used in the design of the YES Kenya Strategic Plan which reflects the broad strategies of the YES Campaign: Knowledge Building, Outreach and Engagement and Capacity building of YES Burundi.
