2009-2014 Youth Action Strategy by
the Ministry of Youth of Quebec, Canada
Experience Description
The objective of the 2009-2014 Youth
Action Strategy is to equip young people with the key tools for development, so
that they can develop the full potential. Their work focuses on six challenges:
education and employment; entrepreneurship; health; regions; diversity; and the
environment. Through the 2009-2014 Youth Action Strategy, the government joins
the business community, community organizations, representatives of youth
groups, the education sector, and city officials to help young people develop
their skills. More than 300 partners are involved in the implementation of the
proposed initiatives, and each, in its own way, is helping to boost the
progress of Quebec.
Activities:
- Significant investments by the Government of Quebec
- Implementation of 115 initiatives
- 300 partners collaborate in the implementation
- 4 ministries and agencies involved
Results:
On one hand, the performance
indicators established in the 2009-2014 Youth Action Strategy quantify the
number of young people who were involved directly through the various
initiatives launched. Moreover, concrete actions in the areas of education,
entrepreneurship, health, regions, diversity and the environment have had a
positive impact in all regions of Quebec. These efforts enable young people to
return to school, get a job, have confidence in the future, develop their
entrepreneurial skills and realize their dream of starting their own business.
More than 300 jobs have been created directly in the implementation of the
Youth Action Strategy in all regions of Quebec.
Challenges:
Certain challenges arose from the
extension of the activities in the framework of the Strategy, particularly with
regard to coordination and collaboration among different stakeholders.
Lessons Learned
Through the Youth Action Strategy
various youth activities of governments have gathered under a single plan of
action. In this context, the practice provides consistency and better
monitoring of activities and public transparency, especially for young people.
