Description

This Solomon Islands National Youth Policy 2017-2030 exemplifies the government’s commitment to prioritise and address the aspirations and wellbeing of the youths of Solomon Islands. It provides a guide for the development and empowerment of youths in the country over the next fourteen years – the same timeframe as the recently adopted SDGs. The policy articulates a vision of how the country’s youths would like to see themselves, what they aspire to be and what they want to achieve. It also portrays a vision of the kind of Solomon Islands they want to see their children grow up and to live in, and a mission to help them achieve that vision. The policy articulates the values that will define the character and integrity of the country’s youths, and presents some guiding principles that can help transform the dreams, the potentials and the natural talents and ability of every youth in Solomon Islands into opportunities and productive engagement that can empower them socially, culturally, spiritually, economically, and politically. The policy provides a platform for the country’s youths to be good citizens and constructive nation builders. The NYP 2017 – 2030 focuses on the following six priority policy outcomes (PPOs) during the period 2017 – 2030; (i) Educational Empowerment; (ii) Economic Empowerment; (iii) Health & Wellbeing; (iv) Sustainable Development; (v) Leadership, Governance, Peace Building, Social Inclusion and Citizenship; and (vi) Evidence-based Approaches, Access to Information and Provincial Implementation Strategies.
