Question NW2804 to the Minister in The Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities
02 December 2020 - NW2804
Mphithi, Mr L to ask the Minister in The Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities
(1) With reference to the National Youth Policy 2030, what proportion of the consultation included youth who are not affiliated to organisations? (2) Whether she will furnish Mr L Mphithi with a summary table of all comments received during the 10-month consultation period; if not, why not? if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
(1) The majority of the consultations included youth who are not affiliated to any organisation, with the exception of one webinar which only targeted youth from political and student formations. In many consultation sessions, including the provincial ones and received written responses, the majority of young people participated in their personal capacities. These included youth from various parts of the country who saw it as a moral responsibility to participate in shaping this important advocacy tool.
