DetailsAbout
Name of the Open Forum: Youth for Sustainable Development

Specific issues that the Open Forum will focus on:
Youth based kind of view about the specific causes of poverty in our community.
Their Suggestions about how they can work to reverse the trend of poverty in our society.
Drawing action points to implement the suggestions

Rationale for holding this Open Forum:
In my country,youths do constitute the biggest proportion of the population and are therefore much affected by the vicious cycle of poverty.Unfortunately,they have not taken up any actions to better their lives.So it is necessary that discussions in the form of open forums be conducted to arouse their awareness through presenting to them the alarming nature of poverty which will later help them to identify their potential in the fight against povety.
It is at this point that they will be placed in a better position to suggest posible actions towards ending poverty in our community.

Goals the organizer hopes to achieve by holding
this Open Forum for youth in the community:

I am hoping that the forum will facilitate an informed kind of advocacy whereby the issues discussed will not stop at that but will further more action in such a manner that the resolutions agreed upon at the end of the day will be used as research findings that will be presented to various policy makers for action and support.
On the other hand, the discussion is expected to steer more behavior change amongst the youths in as far as working hard to bring about development in our community is concerned.In this case the youths who will attend the forum will spread the information to others in community thereby creating impact.

Language in which the Open Forum will be held: English
