Description:
"BYF is an initiative by the youth for the youth and in it Bangladeshi Youth voices can be heard crying aloud for alleviation of poverty, an end to social and armed conflict, clear policies dealing with the HIV/AIDS pandemic and a call for responsible leadership and good governance”
The BYF is a network of young leaders, peace builders and social activists from all over the countries working in promoting and advocating for youthful solutions to Bangladesh’s developmental challenges.
BYF promotes community empowerment through youth participation in the development process, supports skills development and capacity building programs, advocates for the rights of Bangladeshi youth and their communities and environments, and supports young people's on grassroots initiatives to achieve social justice, sustainable development and a culture of peace.
BYF Action Partners recognize that the key to a peaceful, equitable and sustainable Bangladesh lies in providing permanent solutions to armed and social conflict; containing the HIV/AIDS scourge; ICT for Development; entrenching the values of
democratic leadership and good governance, eliminating poverty, and securing our future through sustainable methods of development. Through a diverse range of implementation strategies, BYF Action Partners are addressing these challenges in their various communities and nations across Bangladesh.
Objectives:
The Bangladesh Youth Forum is developing an ongoing Action-orientated Bangladeshi Youth Network.
Some of the objectives of BYF include:
· To promote youth issues in Bangladesh by providing the youth with a strong and effective youth voice. BYF is a place where young leaders, thinkers and activists can meet and establish ongoing networks, alliances and actions.
· To foster collaboration, partnerships and networks to inspire and support youth in their struggle for human rights, equity and peace with their counterparts in other countries across Asia; and to exchange best practice between the delegates and the organizations they may work with.
· To attract international and national media attention to issues facing the Bangladeshi youths.
· To promote increased participation of young people in national and international policy decisions, and to ensure a framework for ongoing gatherings of Bangladeshi youth at future decision-making forums.
· To develop an online resource/website that links youth activists which will provide an ongoing forum for accessing, sharing and requesting information on projects and information relevant to the goals and aims of National ICT Policy,profiles on successful projects and action plans generated at WSIS.
· To instil a culture of learning, dialogue and skills development including a process of mentorship to a generation of young Bangladeshi social change leaders; and to emphasise the importance of youth participation in development.
