SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS OF YOUTH AND PEACE BUILDING

Conflict prevention and peace building are increasingly becoming central to development, with peace as an essential precondition to alleviate poverty to provide livelihood and entitlements to the people on the margins, to promote the rule of law and to safeguard human rights and allow for inclusive multiculturalism. South and South-East Asia, in particular, are facing challenges of new economic formations and developments in politics, culture and the region. These challenges have a bearing on human security, poverty, population mobility and distributive justice. What are some practical ways for youth to understand and address the complex multi-cultural reality? The initiative maps and provides guidelines for youth stakeholders.
