EYPAC Inter-Agency Network Meeting in February
CPBI in Partnership with Search for Common Ground
would like to thank Radha Rajkotia and Lili Stern from
the International Rescue Committee
for presenting at EYPAC's February meeting on
'Broadening the Youth Platform'
CPBI would also like to thank
the United States Institute of Peace for hosting the meeting
The meeting was about Looking at youth programming through the lens of partnership, institution-building and policy. Rather than focusing on an established framework for measuring youth impact, the session will present an overview of existing programmatic interventions with emphasis on the shifting nature of program content from crisis and emergency, through post-conflict and into development.It will ask participants to engage in a review of the ways in which youth may be impacted through work at the institutional and systemic level and possible indicators to measure this.
In keeping with the spirit of CPBI’s founding aspirations, the organization created the Burma Youth Project to research and understand the challenges and opportunities youth, in the context of this particular conflict, face on a daily basis. Overcoming Obstacles, Creating Opportunities is one of the most comprehensive analyses of the situation on the ground, clearly detailing the experiences of displaced youth
living on the border between Thailand and Burma. Included in this report are details of the organizations currently engaged in the task of assisting these youth developing their remarkable potential. The goal of this research is to enhance the international community’s awareness of the current situation, providing particular context to international organizations and practitioners intending to work with displaced Burmese youth in Thailand.
Visit our international resource network dedicated to increasing awareness about the role youth play in development and peace
in their communities. This site is created as a safe space to
share learning, from across agencies on programming, managing such
programs and evaluating programs for and with youth. We hope you can contribute your resources to the network.
