Engage youth in public policies

The project aims to promoting the research capabilities of youth in writing and advocacy for policy papers to improve the governance of local services in Taiz Governorate.

The project targets a group of youth by building their capacities in writing public policy papers and advocacy mechanisms.
Then researchers will produce policy papers on priority issues related to public services and advocate them through round tables with stakeholders from local authorities, the public and the media.

The project is implemented by Improve Your Society Organization (IYSO) in partnership with the Project on Middle East Democracy (POMED).
