FOREWORD

Dear friends,

I write this foreword to the National Youth Assemblys Performance report with pleasure, humilityand a profound sense of satisfaction. This book contains highlights of activities, achievements andprogress from August 2010 July 2012. This span was a defining one for us in many ways. For one, we were faced with the challenge of establishing a new organization as well as reaching outto youth with programs that aid their own personal growth as well as Pakistan's development.

We started our journey with limited resources and team but, with firm commitment and vision, we

have successfully carried out some extraordinary activities and projects. To ensure effectiveimplementation, the organization needed to set measurable targets for the commitments. We aresuccessful to unite youth of the country from different educational backgrounds or systems; eliteeducation system, government education system, etc. Through this approach we aspired tocreate united Pakistan.

Approximately two years have flown by and highlights from the past months; an unforgettableexperience for us, include many of achievements. We could not have come this far without our unyielding commitment, the dedicated work of our members as they continue to demonstrate theimpact of youth engagement in communities across the country.

We are now operating in more than 100 districts of the country, and we have developed

grassroots leaders from these districts. Now, the family of the National Youth Assembly devotedits life to revitalizing and meeting the challenges to make the country prosperous.

By bringing leaders together in a creative and sharing spirit to see life through the eyes andexperiences of others, we created opportunities to learn about and engage with the significantideas, challenges and trends shaping the future while exploring and reflecting on their own rolesand responsibilities as leaders.

The National Youth Assembly has also presented many welfare concepts so far. The mass Iftar project is one of our substantive projects apropos to feed forty thousand impoverished people of more than twenty districts of the country.

We do not claim to have achieved big milestones but, at the same time, they cant be ignored asinsignificant as we started with very limited resources available with us.

We try our level best to bequeath a practical know-how about the working of differentgovernmental/non-government organizations. Since its inception, the NYA has arranged formalvisits to gain practical experience about the working environment through observation, like wevisited the Senate of Pakistan, National Assembly, Election Commission of Pakistan, Ministry of Human Rights, National Defence University, etc. to know about the structure and working of theseorganizations.


4/79

In contrary to the prevailing political culture in which youth has always been exploiting for thevested interest, we train our members, provide opportunities to explore, and introduce them, fromNYA forum, in a very respectable manner.

This book explores the potential of youth as agents of change. It reflects the findings of aresearch process which studies youth-led action as a strategy for strengthening young peoplesability to develop themselves, their communities and contribute to society at large.

I must take this opportunity to thank all legislators who pushed our concepts in real parliament,and heartfelt gratitude to all those who have encouraged us.

Looking forward, in 2013 we hope to reach out to more bright and promising young people andhelp them find the confidence to lead social change by expanding our programs, launching newinitiatives and incorporating the lessons that we have learned in last into future endeavors.

In the pages that follow, I invite you to learn about the social issues we are addressing,approaches we are talking, results we are delivering, and ultimately the leaders we aredeveloping. I hope you will be inspired to join us in our journey to change the quality of futureleadership in Pakistan.

Sincerely,

Hanan Ali AbbasiPresident, the NYAwww.nya.com.pk

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS

BACKGROUND

Young people constitute thelargest 63% resides between theage 15-35 segment of Pakistani

population. However, YouthLiteracy Rate conforming to thewider pattern in Pakistan is evenlower at 42 %. Poverty excludesmany young people from civicparticipation. They have no accessto decision-making forums, nor acknowledged as partners in thedecision making process. Theyouth of the country, as a whole,limited access to state matters;they are used and manipulated by

different groups. The fact is thattheir talent is not properly utilized,channelized and appreciated, that is why the talent is exploited abroad. On the other way thesmall segment of talented youth prefer to stay here but still they are not that much fruitfulbecause they generally are not utilized and directed. The traditional culture does notencourage young people to take decisions on issues concerning them.

At governmental level, first time in the history of Pakistan, on June 12, 1989, Youth AffairsDivision was established, which was merged with Ministry of Women Development onOctober 09, 1993. It was again made a separate Division on August 18, 1996 and was againmerged with Ministry of Culture on November 19, 1996 as a Wing. It became full-fledgedMinistry on 18-11-2005, but the irony of matter is that on March 31st, 2011, the Ministry of

Youth Affairs was dissolved and delegated its powers to the provincial governments. On thetop of it, the fund earmarked for youth is one rupee per person, which reflects the interest of decision makers about the future of Pakistan. Now, at federal level the dissolution of Ministryaccording to international conventions and agreements, the rights of young people in Pakistanhas not moved from paper to practice.

The period of the life under which the youth fall, is the most productive and energetic. But afailure to fully support our present "asset " as well as next generation of leaders can resultgrievously. We take utmost care to fortify the foundations while building houses but, as anation we are bizarre, who did not pay any heed to the foundation stones of the leadershipstature of the country. When the flag of democracy was hoisted in elections, the youth wasthwarted by saying; the blinds cannot lead the blinds, etc. If ever the youth has taken part in

the politics, their interest has been circumscribed to the affixing of posters, raising slogans,torching vehicles/public property, and other pertinent arrangements during political rallies. Theyoung segment feel this to be disrespectful for them, at that extend, to go to the pollingstations and cast votes but, when it comes to any unrest situation in the country, the rebellionsof the system take to the streets with clubs and baton in their hands. Like a blind elephant whotrample his own army. Today, the spectacular of countys worsening situation - who are thereal architect of future has this question in their mind, have we dreamt for this liberty?Have we created a new country for building structural infrastructure, then destroying with our own hands, and rebuilding them? It is unfortunate that a segment of youth, despite their


9/79

contributions to national developments, find themselves trapped in a culture marked by guns,violence and drugs. All this has resulted in an unstable economy, a shattered confidence of foreign investors, lawlessness, and a break-up of the social fabric.

The youth of Pakistan, despite a multitude of problems like unemployment, unbalancededucation system, poverty, remorselessness, social taboos, drugs, guns and politics, havealways been in the forefront of movements and political changes.

The youth is like running water. It makes its own ways. The frustration as a result of multitudeof problems is increasing day by day. This is the right time to look into the problems of youthand give them viable solutions otherwise it will be too late in the day. We need to bear in mindthat the destiny of nations is in the hands of youth.

Unemployment is another problembeing faced by our youths. Almost12 percent (Labor Force Survey,Government of Pakistan, 1997) of our youth is unemployed.Unemployment is a multi-

dimensional and complex issuewhich starts a vicious cycle of associated problems likeinvolvement of youth in politics,bank-household burglaries, socialinsecurity, lawlessness, use of drugs, etc. Though everygovernment has done something for the youth with regards to eradicationof unemployment but the problem issustainability of these programmes.

One government launches a couple of youth promotion and youth investment schemes, the

next one slates all the previous programmes and starts anew. The ultimate sufferers in thisexercise are the youth.

As to radio, electronic and print media dont target youth as one of their potential audiences.With the start of public-private partnership, the government should pay extra attention to usingthem in education, welfare and development of the youth.

No doubt the youth of Pakistan is dedicated, enthusiastic with their country and humanity butemotions are not enough they need a direction to create a positive Pakistan, youth can attainthis direction through constant thinking, discussions, innovations and reasoning. For the realdestiny of Pakistan and to bring positive approach, the youth must learn the neglected lessonsof truth, justice, bravery and governance. In this ambitious dream to be realized, the National

Youth Assembly will play its gigantic and responsible role.

Despite having the second largest coal reserves of 184bn metrictons in the world after the US, not a single unit of electricity was being produced in Pakistanthrough coal unfortunately, he deplored.

He told the participants that as the nation was faced with rising oil prices and increasing gasshortages, it was likely to see even grimmer tomorrow and the only answer lies in exploringthe opportunities in its indigenous resources; coal being at the top of them. Mirza Hamid
