DIRECTION SETTING IN PHASE II OF NO LOST GENERATION
With the addition of 6 new partners at regional level this year, all of whom work towards No Lost Generation goals in at least 3 of the 6 countries, there are now over 30 partners convened in a regional level No Lost Generation Working Group which steers the initiative.
In February this year, the No Lost Generation partners met at Regional Director level to review the progress of the initiative, which is currently in phase II, a 3-5 year period which began in 2016. The Regional Directors reaffirmed the outcomes framework and 2017 targets for the No Lost Generation (please see About No Lost Generation and No Lost Generation Targets for 2017 above) and made the following recommendations for implementation of the initiative going forwards which included the following:
Promote and strengthen programming which supports adolescents and youth, including provision of positive engagement opportunities, and youth-led programming.
Engage adolescents and youth systematically in steering the initiative.
Develop and implement an engagement plan, in consultation with donors.
Facilitate a coordinated approach for No Lost Generation partners towards the private sector.
Make knowledge management platforms and resources available in Arabic, to better support national NGOs and other national actors; encourage transformational partnerships between international and local actors.
Open up internships for local youth to support No Lost Generation.
Consider documenting and analyzing success factors for NLG, for future use.
