KNOWLEDGE RESOURCE / To
bridge the gaps in information sharing the YES Campaign, in partnership with TakingITGlobal,
has developed a Global Knowledge Resource on Youth Employment (GKR). The GKR is
an invaluable resource database and communication medium, where all stakeholders
of youth employment can share and access innovative initiatives, useful toolkits,
and comprehensive research and publications. The
YES Campaign recognizes the value of information sharing and relationship building
in promoting sustainable development. A medium for sharing knowledge can be a
powerful tool for youth employment and key to sustaining livelihoods. Efforts
to address the challenge of youth employment are often hindered by a lack of information
surrounding effective strategies, education and training programs, and opportunities
for collaboration. The
GKR connects stakeholders groups from ALL sectors of society, with an interest
or role to play in youth employment around the world. The Global Knowledge Resource
encourages individuals and organizations to share their expertise with each other,
and to invite new participants into efforts to enhance the livelihoods of young
people. Therefore, through the GKR users can learn from the experiences gained
and shared by others from all over the world, effectively leapfrogging elements
of projects and fast tracking sustainable development and youth livelihood creation. |
