DIALOGUE O UE ON D DEVEL ELOPMEN ENT SUP UPPORTED ED B BY The Open Institute is partner of The Swedish Program for ICT in Developing Regions (SPIDER) to implement a project title “Dialogue on Development”. “Youth Role in Strengthening Local Development and Local Governance” 1 Date: February 2013, Open Institute
Problem Identification: When young people get involved in activities related to human rights and democracy, they often remain passive supporter rather than active decision- makers. Youth feels they have a limited role to play in the election and democracy. Rather than viewing themselves as major players with rights and responsible, they believe that the responsibility to bring about positive change and build democracy lies with their leaders. Low media literacy contributes to lack of access information, which hinders informed participation of the citizens in democratic process, particularly in the elections. 2
