Dear Rituu and Sana

 

Hi from Entebbe, Uganda!  I hope you're both well.

 

I'll be very interested to follow the conversation with Sana around "youth capacity development".

 

I think one significant question may be "Youth Capacity for what?" 

 

For instance, we've talked for many years about "Human Capacity for Response".  And I think a similar focus/definition is helpful when stimulating the capabilities of young people.  For many years in work with The Salvation Army in Africa, we talked about "Youth Capacity Development for Leadership".  The process of developing those capacities was still based in SALT and local response processes, and the "output" of that process still generated facilitation team practise.  But there was a conscious emphasis on the capacity of young people to exercise influence and vision, to lead with character and integrity, and to be effective as they moved into roles of civic and organisational leadership.

 

So, I wonder at this point in time in our global response, and considering the CLCP, what are we aiming to develop youth capacity around?  Or are we simply being more deliberately inclusive of young people as facilitators of the general CLCP process?

Talk soon,

R

Thanks Sana. Please can you share your experience in facilitating youth capacity.

 

I have just learned that Siaap's abstract has been selected in National level conference in India on NACP-III (National AIDS Control programme).  Its about how Siaap instead of providing services encouraged and mobilized youth to take charge of their issues using SALT and community life competence process. Here is a collage of the photos on the work  done by the youth in rural areas of Tamil Nadu.
