| Sri Lanka National Human Development Report 2014 on Youth and Development to be launched |
The Sri Lanka National Human Development Report 2014 on Youth
and Development will be launched on August 12, 2014, in line with the
International Youth Day, the UNDP announced.
The Report explores the challenges of
young people and opportunities for development, in the areas of education,
employment, health, political participation and social integration, with gender
as a cross-cutting theme.
NHDR 2014 is expected to be a key policy
tool providing a new platform for policy development and reform in youth and
development.
The Report is expected to serve as a
strong advocacy tool for promoting youth empowerment and human development in
Sri Lanka.
Addressing national and global development
challenges would inevitably entail providing youth with the support they need
to contribute to the well-being of society, the UNDP says.
A youth-focused NHDR would help identify,
through current data and analysis, the priority areas of support for youth as
well as the most effective means of providing such support.
