Project Name: Adolescent and Youth as an Agent of Change to Promote a Progressive Society (AYD)
Project Introduction:
The project ‘Adolescent and Youth as an Agent of Change to Promote a Progressive Society (AYD)’ aims to empower adolescents and youth to exercise active citizenship. The project targets the adolescents and youths (age group of 12-24 years) who have little experience in decision-making or participating in public forums, and whose poverty, race or class keeps them at the edges of society. The project operates centering around 20 targeted communities under Dhaka and Narayangonj district. The project forms 20 Adolescents and Youth Clubs (AYC) with 1000 adolescents and youth centering in 20 targeted communities under Dhaka district. The project undertakes various adolescent and youth empowerment initiatives with the purpose of improving the living standards of these young people through facilitating life skills educations. Through the process, these youths become active citizens who are aware of their rights and have greater capacity and opportunity to contribute at personal, communal and local development solutions. Under the project, selected adolescents and youth of AYCs will be capacitated to act as resource pool to roll out learnings such as Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR), Problem Solving, Stress management, Communication, Negotiation and leadership among their peers, schools and communities. The project coordinates with relevant civil society organizations, and Government line departments functioning in the targeted areas in order to support operation, share best practices, reduce overlapping and increase synergy. The project also includes parents, teachers,and local government representatives to accept, recognize and support this young force as active future leaders.
