Engage Youth and Youth women through social media for Employment generation


Description

Engage Youth and Youth women through social media for Employment generation project sensitized and engaged youth and other groups disadvantaged people and marginalized communities. This support will enable the beneficiaries to learn, demand and access their rights to information and services for bringing positive changes in their lives and livelihood generating employment opportunity. The project also sensitized local government officials, civil society and policy makers through a participatory consultative process to identify policy gaps, provide recommendations and initiate adaptive measures for implementation of SDG-16.

Engage youth for employment generation through social media has been playing a significant role. The project engaged youths for employment generation employees in your social strategy to keep them more engaged at work while extending your social reach and involve them for their empowerment. Getting youths involved in social media allows they are most likely to trust and create some innovative ideas for their development. At the same time, it allows them to showcase their initiatives and expertise.
Hyperlocal process has been used for relating to or focusing the youth of the remote areas beyond the connectivity on matters concerning a small community or geographical specific area through social media. We have disseminated different materials to the hyperlocal youth through using social media like Facebook, YouTube and Skype.

Economic growth has been a central focus of development. But the economic situation of the Dalit communities is more vulnerable. Their distance from policy-making urban centers casts a double cloak of invisibility over women in this community.

Replicability

The project is possible to replicate for all over the country with the participation all community people. Engage youth and youth women through social media under SDG 16 Localization focuses on inclusive societies, democracy, strong institutions, justice and rule of law. SDG-16 is the key goal and the driver of all other sustainable goals.

BNNRC aimed at fostering public debate for sustainable development for a peaceful and inclusive society. There is an intrinsic link between SDG-16 and SDG implementation and empowering the youths through social media. To foster public debate and sensitize stakeholders for convergence of these issues at the national and community level is very essential. Progress in implementation of SDG-16 is much better in Bangladesh due to wide focus of the Government on the goal, widen civil society space to raise concerns that are sensitive in nature for the Government and also lack of peoples’ awareness on accessing their rights to information.

Considering the importance of the issue need to foster public debates and sensitize stakeholders at the national and community level with special emphasis on SDGs localization for a peaceful and inclusive society.


Sustainability

The ability of the community youth and youth women is enhanced through the interventions of social media under SDG-16 localization for community people including involving youths thus they can take the initiative to cope with the practice and respective community and employment generation for them and support other youths for their employment.

The youths and community media have been incorporated the issues of their regular program and content development and trying to sensitize the issue of employment creation through their regular programs. How this topic has been discussed and shaped by youth and youth women, the community media, local administration, civil society and academics.

The youth and youth women learned what the message looked like and how it might have been interpreted by audiences. Explain to someone else why it is important that we think about this issue carefully. Understand and critique the role of technology and the ‘new gatekeepers’ in enabling the community raise their awareness and participation to develop an inclusive society. Identify emerging best practices within the news industry for catching issue for their development and creation of employment opportunity.
