Thread:Youth policy advocacy (30)

1. I have been engaged in youth policy advocacy work since 1992.

2. What worked well was development of policies e.g. overall Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training (TEVET) Policy, Disability Policy for TEVET, Gender Policy for TEVET and Mainstremaing of HIV &amp; AIDS in TEVET.

What did not work well was implementation of these policies and monitoring and evaluation of the same.

3. The key advocacy messages were to do with mainstreaming of gender, disability and HIV &amp; AIDS issues in TEVET. These were mostly targeted to youths regsitered in the 300+ TEVET institutions in Zambia.
