Description
National Human Development Reports (NHDR) are flagship publications of UNDP produced regularly to address certain topic relevant to country's development and are aimed at providing policy recommendations and generating public debate around the topic. It is expected that NHDR 2017-2018 will focus on youth issues, their problems, their vision, and how their ideas and creative solutions can be utilised as a resource to support the sustainable development of Armenia. The peculiarity of NHDR 2017-2018 will be the idea of problem setting by youth themselves and thus offering creative solutions based on success stories and various innovative tools to be used during the report development process (design thinking approaches, citizen engagement models, etc.). The report will be structured around the four main pillars of youth empowerment:
- Education (challenges and opportunities);
- Employment (problems and solutions);
- Participation/ Engagement (impediments and prospects);
- Future vision (foresight) - Innovative Armenia by the eyes of youth (fears and hopes).
It is expected that the report will not only generate debate between youth and policy-makers but most importantly will involve them in shaping the vision, identifying gaps and bottleneck for development and providing platform to offer recommendations and solutions to move forward, thus engage in decision-making process that immediately affects and impacts their lives.
