Pakistan Youth Directory, 2011: Volume 1




FIRST EVER PAKISTANI DIRECTORY OF YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS AND INFORMAL YOUTH GROUPS BY BARGAD-ORGANIZATION FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

What are youth issues? What is a youth organization? What are the relevant issues for organizations working on youth? How many organizations are operating in Pakistan focus on youth and plan for their social and economic integration? How can we reach these organizations? Do they work on an individual basis or seek collaboration and partnership with others? What kind of informal youth groups are functional in Pakistan? Are current youth organizations sufficient for youth in Pakistan? All these are questions that may be asked by many practitioners or policy makers concerned with youth issues. Unfortunately, they usually get incomplete answers because there is no clear and comprehensive published resource that gives full answers to these questions. A documented source that identifies, defines, describes and gives guidance to the current status and trends of youth organizations and informal youth groups in Pakistan is need of the hour, a partnership between the Bargad and Heinrich Boll Stiftung came to fulfill this national need.

Youth directory 2011 is an authentic tool of networking and alliance building, which offers reference to policy and public practitioners to work with organized youth. It is a vital source on how many, where, which and what kind of youth bodies are working in Pakistan for the betterment of youth

The success of the study is that it is conducted ‘by youth’ and it is ‘for youth’ and is foreseen to be the premier document to vanguard integrated youth development reforms in Pakistan.
