Dear Members, We are happy to share the first comments received to the online consultation: Youth – feeding the future. Addressing the challenges faced by rural youth aged 15 to 17 in preparing for and accessing decent work. The challenges that this age group faces in accessing decent work further increases the rural-urban migration trend, so common to many developing countries. While the overall phenomenon is well studied, there is not much research nor policies or programmes specifically targeting the 15 to 17 age group. We therefore invite you to share your ideas and experience on: what the specific challenges are; how to address these challenges; how to design, implement and monitor policies and programmes; how to improve educational and vocational training to encourage agriculture-related work. Please read more about this topic on the webpage, including information on the upcoming expert meeting. As usual comments are welcome in English, French and Spanish. We look forward to your precious input! Your FSN Forum team |
