Abstract:
Abstract Against the background of the implementation of the EU Youth Strategy (2010–2018) in Germany, the article explores the question of how European youth policy can be anchored at the municipal level. The article discusses (1) federal and regional efforts to incorporate the municipal level in implementing European youth policy, (2) arising challenges and (3) the significance of European policy for national, regional and municipal youth policy. Results suggest that although the involved actors stipulate the importance of municipal level involvement in designing the implementation of the EU Youth Strategy in Germany, the Strategy is actually implemented as a top-down strategy in which the municipal level receives impulses from other levels, rather than being incorporated in policy development. The article concludes that, in order to successfully strengthening European impulses in sub-national youth welfare discourses, mutual understanding and dialogue between levels is just as necessary as a content-related rather than process-related discussion.

Abstract:
The article considers the document Foundations of the State Youth Policy and its implementation in the Russian regions. This analysis allowed the authors to show that the document provides neither a political strategy nor effective management measures. The authors present the results of the analysis of the youth policy implemented by government agencies online - on the websites of regional administrations and in the social network VKontakte. The websites do not provide any current information, while the social network, on the contrary, is quite effective. The article describes the perception of the state youth policy by regions and local communities based on the empirical research conducted in 2018-2019 in 7 regions of the Russian Federation - the Tver, Kursk, Pskov, Astrakhan, Rostov, Moscow Regions and the Republic of Karelia. The main methods of data collection were in-depth interviews and focus groups (43 interviews and 26 focus groups). Respondents represented regional and municipal administrations, including departments of the youth policy, local enterprises - industrial, commercial, hotels, etc., health and education organizations, cultural institutions and youth groups. There were also focus groups with the youth: 3 groups with university students and 3 groups with students of special secondary institutions. The article shows inefficiency of the two poles approach - when the state aims at supporting the talented youth and the most vulnerable groups (orphans, children from dysfunctional families, etc.). Such an approach excludes from the policy and public discourse the middle youth that needs but lacks rather participation in the life of the country than financial support. Today only the forum campaign is implemented, in which the youth are happy to participate, but this campaign cannot strengthen the youths social role. Thus, there is still no system youth policy in Russia.

Abstract:
Introduction. The relevance of the research is due to the modern transformation of the institute of state youth policy, the change in its functions, and the need to reflect on the results of outgoing forms of administration and work with youth. Based on the conducted research, the article assesses the satisfaction of young people with the organization of the main measures to support all of their life strategies implemented by the governing bodies in the field of state youth policy. Materials and Methods. The results of a survey of young people aged 16 to 30, conducted in the Belgorod Region in 2020-2021, were used as the research materials. Based on the developed tools, including using online forms, 866 respondents were interviewed; students and working youth were interviewed through a street survey. The uniformity of diagnostics for each life strategy made it possible to obtain a comparative evaluation matrix in all areas of the state youth policy. Results. Regional Russian youth have given a reflexive assessment of the key problematic points in the implementation of the state youth policy and youth support; their interest in and the potential of involvement in activities and projects related to youth issues have been revealed. A map of youth satisfaction with the activities proposed by the governing bodies in the field of the state youth policy has been drawn. Discussion and Conclusion. The youth satisfaction with the situation that exists today in the field of state youth policy management is assessed as quite low, which makes it possible to conclude that the proposed measures are insufficiently effective and to raise the question of proposing new formats and strategies for developing work with youth. The research materials may be in demand by state youth policy administration bodies, state and municipal government bodies, youth organizations, and educational institutions. The data obtained can be a scientific increment for sectoral sociology (sociology of youth) in the methodological and demonstrative terms.

Esta dissertação descreve e analisa a política educacional de oferta da EJA em espaços não escolares na rede municipal de ensino de Belo Horizonte, tendo como percurso metodológico o estudo de caso de uma regional pedagógica. Os instrumentos utilizados para a coleta de dados incluem: entrevistas com roteiro semiestruturado com os responsáveis pelo desenho e implementação da política, bem como grupos focais com os educandos e educadores das turmas externas da regional selecionada; pesquisa documental, a partir da análise de documentos oficiais sobre a política e dos registros do monitoramento pedagógico da EJA realizado pela equipe pedagógica da gerência regional de educação, além de observação participante. Iniciamos por um resgate dos marcos a níveis mundial, nacional e municipal, que a partir da década de 1990, asseguraram o direito à educação ao longo da vida e que reconheceram a EJA enquanto modalidade da Educação Básica, descrevendo como se deu a implementação, em Belo Horizonte, da alternativa do atendimento da EJA em espaços não escolares. Em seguida, no capítulo dois, apresentamos e analisamos os dados coletados na pesquisa de campo, desvendando as possibilidades, limitações e desafios desta política educacional em relação à diversidade da demanda a que atende, para isso, recorremos a Paulo Freire (2005, 2006, 2010), Maria Clara Di Pierro (2000, 2001), Moacir Gadotti (2003), Leôncio Soares (2001, 2007), Sérgio Haddad (2000, 2002) e Miguel Arroyo (2005,2007), autores que têm se debruçado em discutir políticas públicas para a EJA. Por último, no capítulo três, apresentamos o Plano de Ação Educacional com as propostas de melhoria da política analisada. O que se pretende com esta pesquisa é um entendimento maior sobre as especificidades da EJA e de seu atendimento em espaços não escolares, propondo uma reflexão sobre os ideários da educação popular e da concepção de educação ao longo da vida, em relação à atual política de escolarização da rede municipal de Belo Horizonte.<br>The offer of Education for Youth and Adults in non-school, by the municipal Belo Horizonte, called External Classes, prioritizes care for individuals who do not attend school for various reasons, such as improper schedules to attend classes, distance from his home to the school environment, and even a refusal to return to the space that excluded these subjects the right to education. This paper describes and analyzes the educational policy of offering the EJA in non school in Municipal School of Belo Horizonte, having as the methodological case study of a regional teaching. The instruments used for data collection include: semi-structured interviews with those responsible for the design and implementation of the policy, as well as focus groups with students and teachers of the classes outside of selected regional, documentary research, based on the analysis of official documents on policy and records of monitoring conducted by EJA pedagogical teaching staff of regional management education, and participant observation. Initiated by a rescue of the milestones at global, national and local, which from the 1990s, ensured the right to education throughout life and recognized the EJA as a method of Basic Education, describing how was the implementation in Belo Horizonte, the alternative care of EJA in non school. Then, in chapter two, we present and analyze data collected in the field research, uncovering the possibilities, limitations and challenges of educational policy in relation to the diversity of demand that caters for that, we turn to Paulo Freire (2005, 2006, 2010), Maria Clara Di Pierro (2000, 2001), Moacir Gadotti (2003), Leoncio Soares (2001, 2007), Sérgio Haddad (2000, 2002) and Miguel Arroyo (2005, 2007), authors who have devoted their attention to discuss public policies for the EJA. Finally, in chapter three, we present the Educational Action Plan with proposals to improve the policy analyzed. The aim of this research is a greater understanding of the specifics of the EJA and their care in non-school, offering a reflection on the ideals of popular education and the concept of lifelong education in relation to current policy enrollment in the municipal Belo Horizonte.

Abstract:
The study explored the community role in support of adolescents’ sexual reproductive health (ASRH) in Acholi sub-region, which was affected by over two decades of LRA war. The study aimed at establishing the impact of the war on Acholi socio-cultural norms of adolescents’ socialisation on sexual matters by exploring the effects of the war, mass media and the modern education system on the socio-cultural norms of socialisation and compared with the current modes of promoting sexual education among adolescents as mandated by the national adolescent health policy; the study then assessed the community responsiveness to ASRH needs. Based on the findings, community strategy for enhancing community response to adolescent health was developed. Exploratory, descriptive and case study methodology was used to execute a three- phased concurrent study with five sub-studies. Data were collected from selected participants and respondents including teen mothers, guardians, midwives, parents, adolescents, local, cultural and religious leaders as well as policy makers, technocrats and implementers at the community and district levels. The study was implemented in Gulu, Kitgum and Pader districts of Northern UgandaThe study results found that the LRA war greatly impacted on the Acholi tradition of socialising children; the war destroyed the socio-cultural, economic and family protection structures. The teen mothers’ case study vividly documented the stories. Confounded by the influence of mass media and modern education system, the Acholi community is experiencing what the study called ‘intergenerational cultural shock’ in which the old and young generations are shocked and amazed with the cultural difference. community responsiveness to adolescent health needs, amidst the societal changing contexts and emerging new youth cultures, the study proposes a community model and a strategy to promote community participation in ASRH but with many implications to policy, programs, and further research as detailed under the recommendations..<br>Health Studies<br>D.

Abstract:
AbstractThe European Union has established a Youth Strategy, aimed at including young people in EU policy-making and it has considerably increased the budget of Erasmus+ funding for youth exchange programmes and other projects. However, the EU does not have the competence to shape all policies relevant for the implementation of this strategy. This chapter gives five policy recommendations to governments and regional authorities in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania. The proposed measures seem suitable to support young people in these countries so that they can enjoy their formal rights and EU citizenship in an equal way irrespective of where they are living. The recommendations pay particular attention to macro-regional as well as sub-regional peculiarities. They are based on the JMCoE fieldwork findings regarding young people and youth projects in the region presented in the other chapters of this volume and on an analysis of additional data.

AbstractThis chapter reports about the Erasmus+ funded project European Youth Week 2019, which was conducted in Kielce, Poland, by the Regional Volunteer Centre. The overarching goals of the project were to start a dialogue between people, decision makers and the young people in the town, as well as to promote the project Erasmus+ and a youth policy. To this end, young people independently organised the project and held debates on local issues with decision makers and peers. Based on an analysis of the planning, process and outcomes of the project, the chapter concludes that even though there were no visible policy changes, an indirect and sustainable empowerment of the youth can be observed. It also identifies important success factors for similar projects, such as flexibility.

Abstract:
AbstractUnderstanding young people’s needs from their own perspective is important for effective policy making. The Youth Guarantee (YG) has been successful in providing training, job search assistance, monitoring, and public work programs for vulnerable young people (NEETs). However, the YG primarily focuses on economic aspects, ignoring multidimensional social problems faced by this vulnerable group. Our chapter focuses on the factors behind the need and on the potential of young people’s contribution to policy-making making it more youth-centered. Recent academic discussions have focused on improving policy development processes beyond the classic or rationalist approach, incorporating cognitive biases, power factors, the multiplicity of actors, and the importance of the environment. To address these challenges, we present the results of a multi-country thought experiment that revealed that the national government is the most important actor in policy development for NEETs, followed by public employment services, local government, civil society organizations, and regional governments. Subsequently, we explore the potential benefits for policy development of new design thinking approaches based on the case example of the Reinforced YG of Estonia. The Estonian approach aims to address the multidimensionality of social problems faced by vulnerable young people and to promote a design-based policy development mindset, creating new avenues for support and services.

Abstract:
AbstractIn the past decade, Southeast Asia’s economic and geopolitical profile in the world has risen dramatically. It is one of the fastest growing markets and least well-known regions in the world. Countries in this region are important because they are large in aggregate, strategically located, exceptionally diverse, and intellectually interesting. This book on Demographic and Family Changes in Southeast Asia (SEA) presents the trends and patterns of family changes from all eleven countries in the region for the past 50 years (till 2015). It collects indicators on marriage, fertility, and household structures, and child and youth well-being based on data that are dispersed in many different sources and compiles them in one single document making it easier for researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers who are interested in this diverse and rapidly growing region to refer to. The report is meant to be a resource book to provide a snapshot of changes in the last half a century in key demographic, socio-economic characteristics, and family structure in the region to facilitate an understanding of the transitions that have undergone.

Abstract:
AbstractIn light of the growing political disengagement of youth, this chapter presents four recommendations on how the Commission and the European Parliament can improve EU youth policies to promote the active citizenship of young people in peripheral regions. Firstly, given the central role that information plays for active citizenship, EU actors need to better tailor knowledge transfer to the needs of young people. Secondly, they need to enhance citizenship competences and political efficacy through meaningful local participation projects that are linked to the EU-level. Thirdly, to guarantee the long-lasting effect of these projects, EU actors should make project funding more reliable, for instance by extending funding periods or lowering the hurdles for follow-up projects. Last but not least, the inclusiveness of bottom-up dialogue formats needs to be further improved to make sure that the EU youth policy goals are connected to the diverse living conditions and needs of young people across the Union.

Abstract:
AbstractHow the Internet is used and any negative outcomes of engagement with it—especially with regards to children—is a topic of great interest, bearing legitimate investigation. Proposed identifiers of problematic internet use(PIU) include aspects of use in correlation with distress or impairment across biological, psychological, sociological, and/or occupational/academic functioning. Adolescents and those with vulnerabilities across developmental or sociological domains are particularly susceptible. Although validated instruments have been utilized to assess PIU, concerns surrounding the methodology, currency, and some validation measures of existing and cross-sectional screening tools and a lack of those with true external validity and variance, combined with some disagreement surrounding PIU, have impeded its diagnostic acceptance. Current investigative approaches to PIU include clarifying problematic gambling and gaming criteria, psychotherapeutic therapy, pharmacological interventions, and non-invasive neurostimulation therapies targeting cortical brain regions. As child screen time appears to be increasing, further research, ethical health/social policy changes, and digital literacy programs are strongly endorsed. To avoid online engagement dysregulating or harming children, digital policy youth user protection standards, pragmatic key player dialogues, transparent reassessments of digital-centric business models without compromising less resourced countries, and even globally agreed child online safety regulations are also recommended.

Приводится анализ состояния и факторов развития патриотического сознания дагестанцев. Показано, что низкий уровень патриотизма в Республике Дагестан связан с тремя главными причинами: недостатками и просчетами в социальной политике государства; усилением роли исламского мировоззрения в социализации современной молодежи; отсутствием четкой светской ориентации школьного образования и воспитания. Сделанные выводы основаны на данных статистики и социологических опросов 2019, 2021 годов, проведенных автором в Республике Дагестан. The author analyzes the state and factors of developing the patriotic consciousness of Dagestanis. He shows that the low level of Russian patriotism in the Republic of Dagestan is associated with three main reasons: a) shortcomings and miscalculations in the social policy of the state; b) strengthening the role of the Islamic worldview in the socialization of modern youth; c) the lack of a clear secular orientation of school education and upbringing. The given conclusions are based on statistics and sociological surveys of 2019, 2021 conducted by the author in the Republic of Dagestan.

Abstract:
The global calls to action on Sustainable Development (SD) have been triggered by the existential threat to human existence caused by unsustainable human actions. The critical issue is to have a clear understanding on what SD and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) are about, and on the transformative societal actions they entail in the interface of the development and knowledge sectors. The role of higher education is to bring closer together science and SD. There have been positive trends to the effect that SD is being integrated into education, and vice versa, and ESD cuts across formal, non-formal and informal education sectors; but major works remain in accelerating and upscaling sustainable actions, as well as in having policy coherence on ESD across sectors and subsectors aligned with the roadmap to sustainability in higher education. The launching of the UN Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has shifted the focus of the ESD approach to one that enables and supports the implementation of the SDGs. Unfortunately, according to the UN ESCAP 2022 Report on SDG Progress, as of now, none of the SDGs are on track for 2030. None of the SDGs hit the 2021 timeline, and the full achievements of the targets based on current trajectories are getting delayed, especially on Climate Action (SDG 13) which is regressing. For effective SDG implementation, Quality Education (SDG 4; SDG 4.7 on ESD) and Partnership (SDG 17) are both enablers and integrators to be embedded in all implementation programs across the board. To be effective, SDG implementation needs to be rooted in community and local stakeholders’ engagements. SDGs must be localized, underpinned by local values, culture and heritage, focusing on holistic, whole-community approach, and transdisciplinary problem solving. The UNESCO ‘ESD for 2030’ Roadmap provides guidance through five priority action areas - Advancing Policy; Transforming learning environments; Building capacity of educators and trainers; Empowering and mobilizing youth; and Accelerating sustainable solutions at local level (community engagement). Two flagship initiatives of the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS) illustrate important roles of higher education in SD and community engagement - one is a network of higher education institutions known as the Promotion of Sustainability in Postgraduate Education and Research Network (ProSPER.Net); and the other is a regional/local network of organizations, the Regional Centres of Expertise on ESD (RCEs).

Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This research emerges from Lesotho's diverse landscapes, where children’s stories remain largely unheard in the realm of health policy. The study aims to harness these narratives to drive equity, inclusivity, and human rights in health interventions, positioning youth not just as beneficiaries but as active participants in all health interventions. METHODS This research represents a meta-analysis of a larger, cross-sectional, qualitative research project, focused on understanding childrens’ narratives and experiences on their health and wellbeing. The study employed Participatory Learning Approach (PLA) tools, notably Social and Resource Mapping, Body Mapping, and Cause and Effect Analysis, to delve into these narratives. It involved a purposeful sample of 180 children, ranging from 6 to 19 years old, including school-goers, herd boys, children with disabilities, and teenagers. It occurred in diverse regions of Lesotho (Lowlands, Mountains, Foothills, and Senqu River Valley). This comprehensive approach also encompassed 18 Focus Group Discussions, enriched by Key Informant Interviews with local stakeholders. RESULTS Key findings from this study highlight significant issues in health, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), education, nutrition, and child protection. The study underscores the challenges in accessing general healthcare services, particularly stressing the importance of sexual and reproductive health in high HIV/AIDS prevalence areas. The need for improved water and sanitation infrastructure is critically emphasised. In education, children and youth advocate for greater equity and inclusivity. The impact of climate change on nutrition is evident, leading to food insecurity and malnutrition, with high prevalence of stunting. Participants highlighted key facets of child protection, emphasising the increased vulnerability and exploitation of children and youth, alongside a considerable risk of gender-based and sexual violence. CONCLUSIONS Participants powerful testimonies advocate for a paradigm shift towards more inclusive and youth-involved policymaking, challenging the dominance of adult-centric approaches and calling for a holistic integration of their perspectives in programmes and policies.

Abstract:
At the stage of fast progress in modern technologies and science, it is essential to respond in time to prospects emerging for the future. Global economic trends show a fast reorientation towards the creation of higher value-added products. Therefore, one of the most important factors in the ability to respond to changes in the economic environment in Latvia in a timely manner is the capacity to provide quality education to youth who will be able to compete in the world market, cope with challenges and achieve the goals set. In recent years in Latvia, the national education system has been one of the most urgent areas of national domestic policy, in which reforms have been implemented to increase the competitiveness thereof. The research aims to identify and analyse factors in the competitiveness of rural schools in Latgale region to determine measures to be taken to increase the competitiveness thereof by employing the expert interview method. The results of the expert survey revealed that the competitiveness of rural schools in Latgale region was most significantly affected by the quality of administrative and teaching personnel, as well as their ability to plan and evaluate their school development. The highest priority rating was given to raising the qualifications of teaching personnel and improving the curriculum, which indicates their significant impact on the competitiveness of rural schools in Latgale region. The research novelty involves examining in depth the known and identifying new factors in the competitiveness of rural schools in Latgale region. Research methods used: monographic and descriptive, analysis, syntheses, statistical analysis, a sociological research method – an expert survey. The research was based on the results of an expert survey, research papers and other sources of information.

Abstract:
Regions with underdevelopment, but rich in natural, cultural-historical, or environmental assets, possess latent tourism potential. However, despite their wealth of resources, these areas often struggle to attract visitors and tourists. This underscores the necessity for active involvement of tourism organizations and enterprises in promoting the tourism prospects of such regions. Through their initiatives, tourism entities not only bolster tourist numbers but also foster improvements in the social and socioeconomic fabric of underdeveloped locales. Indeed, tourism can emerge as a pivotal catalyst for fostering economic growth (EG) by generating enhanced employment opportunities and heightened revenues for local enterprises. This, in turn, incentivizes youth retention within these areas. The policy of social connection (PSC) between tourists and the local population, local population and companies and the connection of the private and public sector, affects the increase of the living standard of the local population in underdeveloped areas, the satisfaction of tourists and the functionality of tourism companies/companies. Moreover, reciprocal attitudes (RA) between tourists and the business sector play a crucial role in negotiating agreements that directly impact service delivery and tourist contentment at destinations. The theory of social exchange delineates strategies for mitigating barriers that impede or inhibit reciprocal behavior. By reducing social distance (RSD), it becomes feasible to adapt responses between parties, thereby fostering significant and memorable experiences for both companies and guests alike. This paper has a great contribution in developing a research model that will measure the index of the impact of tourism on the economic and social development of an area, especially the underdeveloped ones. The municipality of Kuršumlija is a good example of the fact that tourism can be a driver of economic and social development in underdeveloped areas, where the impact of tourism has transformed a devastated area into a developing one.

In Muslim World in Transition: Contributions of the Gülen Movement. Leeds Metropolitan University Press, 2007. http://dx.doi.org/10.55207/bkir8810.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper examines the organisational and discursive strategies of the Gülen movement in France and Germany and its differentiation in Turkish Islam in Europe, with the primary focus on the movement’s educational activities. The paper describes the characteristics of organisational activity among Turkish Muslims in Europe. Then it analyses two mainstream religious-communitarian movements and the contrasting settlement strategies of the “neo- communitarian” Gülen movement. Despite the large Turkish population in western Europe, the movement has been active there for only about ten years – relatively late compared to other Islamic organisations. Mainly, the associational organisation of Turkish Islam in Europe is based on two axes: the construction/ sponsoring of mosques and Qur’anic schools. By contrast, the Gülen movement’s members in Europe, insisting on ‘the great importance of secular education’, do not found or sponsor mosques and Qur’anic schools. Their principal focus is to address the problems of the immi- grant youth population in Europe, with reintegration of Turkish students into the educational system of the host societies as a first goal. On the one hand, as a neo-communitarian religious grouping, they strive for a larger share of the ‘market’ (i.e. more members from among the Turkish diaspora) by offering a fresh religious discourse and new organisational strategies, much as they have done in Turkey. On the other hand, they seek to gain legitimacy in the public sphere in Germany and France by building an educational network in these countries, just as they have done in Central Asia and the Balkans region. Accordingly, a reinvigorated and reorganised community is taking shape in western Europe. This paper examines the organizational and discursive strategies1 of the Gülen movement in France and Germany and it is differentiation in Turkish Islam in Europe. We seek to analyse particularly the educational activities of this movement which appeared in the Islamic scene in Diaspora of Europe for the last 10 years. We focus on the case of Gülen movement because it represents a prime example amongst Islamic movements which seek to reconcile-or ac- commodate- with the secular system in Turkey. In spite of the exclusionary policy of Turkish secular state towards the religious movements, this faith-based social movement achieved to accommodate to the new socio-political conditions of Turkey. Today, for many searchers, Gülen movement brings Islam back to the public sphere by cross-fertilizing Islamic idioms with global discourses on human rights, democracy, and the market economy.2 Indeed, the activities of Gülen movement in the secular context of France and Germany represent an interesting sociological object. Firstly, we will describe the characteristics of organizational ability of Anatolian Islam in Europe. Then we will analyse the mainstream religious-com- munitarian movements (The National Perspective movement and Suleymanci community) and the settlement strategies of the “neo-communitarian”3 Gülen movement in the Turkish Muslim Diaspora. Based on semi-directive interviews with the directors of the learning centres in Germany and France and a 6 month participative observation of Gülen-inspired- activities in Strasbourg; we will try to answer the following questions: How the movement appropriates the “religious” manner and defines it in a secular context regarding to the host/ global society? How the message of Gülen is perceived among his followers and how does it have effect on acts of the Turkish Muslim community? How the movement realises the transmission of communitarian and `religious’ values and-especially-how they compete with other Islamic associations? In order to answer these questions, we will make an analysis which is based on two axes: Firstly, how the movement position within the Turkish-Islamic associational organisation? Secondly, we will try to describe the contact zones between the followers of Gülen and the global society.

Abstract:
This SIPRI Research Policy Paper explores the role of civil society in environmental polit­ics in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. In recent years, the Gulf region has seen a shift in official discourses and policies towards sustainability and the energy transition. This has opened up new opportun­ities for civil society actors to engage with policymakers and the public on issues such as climate change and environ­mental preservation. Drawing on interviews with environmental activists from all the GCC states, the paper highlights the challenges facing civil society actors and the opportunities available to them, as well as discusses prospects for further regional civil society cooperation. The paper argues that policymakers in the GCC states need to further expand the space available to civil society actors and strengthen their role in environmental politics. This is in the interest of GCC states, who stand to benefit from greater cooperation with a dynamic, driven and generally well-intentioned civil society if they want to reach their climate targets and implement their ambitious national develop­ment strategies. Specifically, the paper recommends easing regulations and legal pro­cedures, facilitating access to funding, supporting youth and female environmental activists, adopting participatory approaches, and facilitating the creation of regional platforms and organizations.

Full text
Abstract:
Over the last decade, the migration landscape in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has changed significantly. In this context, the socio-economic integration of immigrants is an increasingly high priority on the regional development and policy agenda. For this reason, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have collaborated on this joint exercise that builds on OECDs previous experience in measuring migrant inclusion as well as IDBs expertise in building data around the state of migration in Latin America and the Caribbean, and UNDPs presence on the ground and experience working with national and local governments in the region to advance their development priorities. This report provides a general overview of the state of socio-economic integration of migrants in 12 LAC countries by 2021. It presents a series of quantitative indicators related with, for instance, labor market informality, self-employment, youth employment, school attendance, reading literacy and living conditions. This exercise also relies on selected policy indicators that shed light on the regulatory framework within which migrants integration takes place. The objective is to provide decisionmakers and policymakers in host countries with useful indicators to better understand where the gaps are in terms of migrants integration and to help them identify the areas where they should focus their efforts and scarce resources.

Abstract:
This policy brief delves into the importance of understanding and supporting the priorities of young people in Nordic rural regions to ensure these communities thrive. It highlights the importance of addressing challenges that keep youth from staying in rural areas and engaging with those unsure about their future there. Serving as a comprehensive guide for policymakers, the policy brief contextualises the report from the Nordic rural youth panel "From Fields to Futures: 40 action points for rural revitalisation". The brief examines academic discussions, prevalent narratives, and youth engagement efforts, emphasising the Nordic Rural Youth Panel's 40 proposed actions to revitalise rural areas. The paper investigates what young people need and want, their aspirations and ideas, and the solutions they present to policymakers that could attract them back to rural areas. It also explores ways to create and enhance opportunities for rural youth to realise their potential and contribute significantly to their communities, thereby changing the existing narratives about young people in rural areas. Lastly, the policy brief stresses the importance of considering diverse youth perspectives in policymaking to promote inclusive and sustainable rural development in alignment with the Nordic Vision.

Abstract:
Belize is paying a lot for education but getting little. More youth are outside the school system than in it and many fail to make the transition to the workforce. More and more youth drop out of school and become involved in gang activities. Action is needed if Belize is not to lose a whole generation of youth. This document discusses the current situation of the Belizean education sector and its progress over the last 10 years, its relative performance compared with other countries in the region, and the policies currently being implemented by the education sector in Belize. While the challenges are great, the recommendation is to focus on increased efficiency, quality and equity. To this end, the note discusses policy options that seek to improve educational outcomes with the same or fewer resources.

Full text
Abstract:
In 2022, amidst a backdrop of growing violent extremism in the region, NDI launched a pilot preventing/countering violent extremism (P/CVE) program for youth in Abala, a commune in Niger. The program also integrated social and behavioral change (SBC) research and approaches in youth-political party programming from 2022–2023. The primary objective of the pilot was to establish youth as the experts on their lived experience of violent extremism. The pilot did so by bringing rural and village youth together to understand the intersectional risk of violent extremism in their commune and to design programming by and for youth to address that complex threat. With the understanding that women in Niger, especially in rural communities, were not bystanders in violent extremist operations (instead involved in recruitment and funding), gender was also a central aspect of this pilot’s intersectional approach. The program included a subsequent phase aimed at bringing youth leaders together with community and political party leaders to advocate for youth-led P/CVE analysis and programming. This phase held considerable risk due to the stereotypes and intransigent beliefs held by youth and political leaders in Niger. Acknowledging that these deep-seated stereotypes and beliefs presented real barriers to successful outcomes, NDI reached out to Beyond Conflict to work with local partner SOS Civisme to research, design, and integrate experimental SBC research and interventions. These included radio programming and community dialogues that targeted norms and beliefs concerning youth that were being perpetuated by elites to maintain their exclusionary systems of power, such as the notion that youth lack decision-making and leadership capacity. The programming also focused on the importance of youth leadership and agency in P/CVE efforts. Based on findings from this joint initiative, this policy note presents considerations and recommendations to better understand and address youth vulnerability to violent extremism in Niger. More broadly, the note demonstrates the under-utilized potential to incorporate behavioral science into P/CVE programming for greater, more durable impact.

The green transition involves different economic, social and territorial impacts that have been explored in the four year research project “Not Just a Green Transition – Examining the path towards a socially just green transition in the Nordic Region” (short name: NJUST). The result is the Nordic Toolbox for a Just Green Transition, which contributes to a transition towards a climate neutral Nordic Region that is socially just. The comprehensive and interactive toolbox offers guidance for Nordic policymakers to navigate challenges, listen to those affected, and get inspired. The toolbox highlights six priority areas for enabling a just green transition, and offers policy memos from four socially at-risk groups: older adults, youth, people with disabilities and those at risk of unemployment. Through practical tools and examples, a structured checklist, policymakers can gain insights into how to take action for a transition that is not only green – but equitable too.

Abstract:
Rice production is the most dominant farming system in Kilombero valley in Morogoro region, Tanzania, accounting for more than 80 per cent of cultivated land within the valley. This paper examines changes in rice commercialisation and livelihood outcomes for different categories of farmers in the Mngeta division, Kilombero District, Tanzania. Understanding the underlying factors of agricultural commercialisation enables policymakers to ensure that policy interventions promote inclusive and equitable involvement of all farmers and other value chain actors, especially women and youths, who have been excluded from most development initiatives in the past.

Abstract:
Faced with environmental degradation and strong land pressure, farmers in south-central Niger have intensified their agricultural production systems. Since the 1980s, farmers in the regions of Zinder, Maradi and Tahoua have increased the number of trees and shrubs on their fields, creating new agroforestry parklands over about 5 million hectares. This regreening is not based on tree planting, however, but on farmers protecting and managing natural regeneration of woody species on their crop lands. This has been well documented over the years, but until now, there has not been a thorough review of all of the published peer-referenced as well as grey literature. This report presents the first comprehensive state of knowledge of farmer managed natural regeneration (FMNR) in Niger. Studies show the scale and dynamics of FMNR as well as its multiple impacts. It has increased crop yields (+31 kg/ha to +350 kg/ha), and that supports family food security even in drought years. FMNR has increased the income of all social categories, even the most vulnerable women, men and youth, through the sale of fuelwood and service wood. The pruning of trees in fields has also reduced the distances travelled by women to collect fuelwood. FMNR increased the availability of fodder from trees to farmers and agropastoralists, with households practising FMNR harvesting 30-45 kg of fodder per day. Economists have not calculated all the multiple impacts in monetary terms, but studies on the costs and benefits all indicate that it is economically rational for farmers to invest their labour in FMNR. The costs are modest (no equipment and little labour), and the benefits are substantial, also helping smallholder farmers adapt to climate change, while sequestering millions of tonnes carbon. As a consequence of FMNR, tree cover has been sustained without external incentives (e.g. food or cash-for-work), an outcome that distinguishes this farmer-driven practice from large-scale tree planting projects where farmers’ stewardship ended when the external incentives ended. Agroforestry landscapes are thus being created at scale due to decisions made by hundreds of thousands of individual farmers. It is hoped that information in this report that shows the clear benefits of FMNR in Niger will encourage policy makers in Africa’s drylands to invest in the promotion of FMNR. This foundational practice must form the backbone of landscape wide initiatives if the ambitious targets of the Great Green Wall, AFR100 and similar ambitious restoration initiatives are to be achieved. FMNR is a low cost sustainable land use management practice with a considerable potential for scaling, which can and must be adopted and scaled immediately.

The Competitive Advantage of Nations: A Successful Experience, Realigning the Strategy to Transform the Economic and Social Development of the Basque Country. Universidad de Deusto, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.18543/xiqr3861.

Abstract:
Why do the new economy and welfare societies recommend a new station on the long journey towards competitiveness initiated within the framework of “The Competitive Advantage of Nations”, published as long as 25 years ago? A little more than twenty-five years ago, the Basque Country decided to equip itself with its own development strategy, undertaking to meet the challenge of designing its own future. The Basque Country aspired to give itself the maximum degree of self-government as a nation without a State, following its release from a long dictatorship which had plunged it into autarchy and isolation from the Western democracies around it, limiting its ability and responsibility to shape its own destiny and to offer its Society the highest standards of welfare, facing one of the greatest economic, political and social crises of its history and suffering from the ravages of terrorism within an economy castigated by soaring unemployment above 25%, a drop in its GDP, the fall, like dominoes, of its key industrial sectors, locked into the monoculture of the steel and metal working industry, outside the Europe which was being constructed by the then Economic Community of the Six, marginalized as a peripheral area from the future axis and development of the so-called “blue banana” of the London-Milan backbone and with an incipient and inexperienced administration, full of youth and enthusiasm, and a business world undergoing conversion, learning to live with a trade union phenomenon that the former dictatorship had bypassed. Faced with this complex and exciting challenge, those of us who had the privilege of addressing the aforementioned proposal, interpreting (by means of our analyses, as well as the wish to make our desires and dreams come true) the main keys to explain the state of the world economy, the main trends of change and their foreseeable impact on the Basque economy (“What the world economy taught us”), began the task of defining what we call “A strategy for the modernization and internationalization of our economy and our Country” trying to give some meaning to the role expected of the new players (States, city-regions, provinces, etc.), a role in which our small Country, with features of a City-Region, a sub-national entity, an invertebrate area on the two sides of the Pyrenees, could assume the figure of co-protagonist and provide society with a prosperous future. We also needed the framework and tools desirable for tackling the success strategy. We identified the gap between the needs that would be generated by the new paradigms and the tools offered by the existing political-economic framework (contents, skills, potential developments), accompanied by our own Country-strategy, with special emphasis on the initiatives, factors and critical vectors our society would demand and its aspirations for well-being and development. Within this context, the Basque Government approached Michael E. Porter, his ideas and concepts of the moment, and we began a collaborative process (which lasts until this day), constructing much more than our “Competitive Advantage of the Basque Country” in a thrilling and unfinished “Journey towards Competitiveness and Prosperity”. The Basque Country enjoys the privilege of having been the first nation to apply, in a strategic and comprehensive manner, the concepts which, a few years later, came to light in the prestigious publication we celebrate today, titled “The Competitive Advantage of Nations”, which has inspired the design of numerous policies and strategies throughout the world, which has brought about a proliferation of followers, which has trained instructors and which has generated a large number of new researchers and academics, new policy makers, new instruments for competitiveness and extraordinary levels of prosperity throughout the world. Since then, we have shared our own particular project which, alive and changing, responds to the new economic and social challenges and conflicts by constructing and applying a Country strategy with distinctive achievements and results beyond our economic environment. It lies within the conceptual framework inspired by the complementary tripod of Michael E. Porter's conceptual movement in his Competitive Advantage (Competitiveness, Shared Value Initiative and Social Progress) and our contributions learned from day to day in keeping with our vocation, identity, will and commitment. It is a never-ending process based on a model and a way of understanding the former pledge to give ourselves a single strategy designed by and for people.
