THE MEDIUM-TERM YOUTH DEVELOPMENT In line with its function to formulate a national framework for youth development, the NYC is in the midst of preparations to come up with the Medium Term Youth Development Plan for 2005-2009. The Plan will identify indicators for program implementation, veering away from the broad strokes approach. Later this year, we will be conducting a series of consultations with the youth sub-sectors, as well as program partners for their inputs on a draft plan done together with youth sector experts and youth program implementers. |
