Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN Forum)

The report can benefit from good practices and successful experiences from across the world, especailly from developing countries, that are  improving youth engagement. I am impressed by the ADB supported youth  training programme in Bangaldesh.

ADB is training half a million youngsters in Bangladesh for employment, so far, 260,000 young people have been trained with new skills in 10 high priority areas, including the booming garments industry. Every year 2 million youths enter the job market in Bangladesh – ADB is training half a million of them with the skills needed to succeed in the workplace. With a well-trained workforce, Bangladesh aspire  to transition to a developed country.

Many developing countries have youth skilling programmes, some are very successful, which could offer some insights for furhter finetuning and upscaling.

For instance, Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK- Farm Science Centres) in India is also responsible for skilling youth and women. For developing the skills of the rural youth and to increase their productivity, Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE) and Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare (MoA&FW), India signed an agreement on 20th March, 2018 . Skilling would not only ensure that agriculture becomes technologically and entrepreneurially attractive to youth but also meet the emerging demand of Para Professionals in Agriculture, Horticulture, Dairy, Poultry and Fisheries. 100 KVKs are implementing Attracting and Retaining Youth in Agriculture (ARYA) project to attract and empower the youth in rural areas for taking up various agriculture and allied sector enterprises.
