A situation that is forcing young people to make the wrong decisions, as seen in the articles we have published. One dealt with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youthemploymentdecade.org\/en\/pegasus\/fundamentalism-unemployment-lack-prospects\/\">fundamentalism and the scarcity of opportunities<\/a> and the other with the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youthemploymentdecade.org\/en\/repor\/youth-lethargy-arab-countries\/\"> lethargy of young people in Arab countries<\/a>. Youth unemployment leads to a whole series of problems that need to be addressed to ensure the prosperity of the region. With this in mind, Silatech launched a regional initiative in Amman (Jordan) from April 28th to 30th entitled: &#8216;Arab Youth Employment: Promoting innovative solutions to long-standing challenges&#8217;. The conference was supported by the IYF &#8211; International Youth Foundation-.<\/p>\n<p>In 2011, young people in the entire MENA region reacted to decades of social, political and economic exclusion by taking to the streets and demonstrating. Four years on and we can see a slight change in their lives for the better. However, we must not forget that youth unemployment in the said <strong>region presents the highest rates when compared to the rest of the world.<\/strong> Furthermore, since 2009, it has increased to an alarming 29%, coinciding with a decline in the entrepreneurial spirit. The solution requires finding synergies between governments, the private sector and NGOs through innovative measures.<\/p>\n<p>The conference focussed on developing successful youth employment policies and initiatives, on creating opportunities for professionals that can be replicated and creating effective programmes throughout the region.\u00a0 The conference addressed <strong>possible alternatives regarding the following issues:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Innovations in financing young companies<br \/>\n2. The involvement of the private sector in youth employment<br \/>\n3. The importance of monitoring and assessing programmes.<br \/>\n4. Achieving and recovering employment initiatives through technology.<br \/>\n5. Associations in formulating policies<br \/>\n6. Implementation of entrepreneurial and alliance-making ecosystems.<br \/>\n7. Sector-based solutions driven by the private sector to extend initiatives.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent weeks, we have dealt with the urgent situation that young people are experiencing in the MENA -Middle East and North Africa- region.
