Extend submission date for the National Youth Policy 2020

Minister, please extend the date for submissions for comments on the current draft of the National Youth Policy 2020 - 2030.

Having engaged with the draft, it is clear that:

- there was no review of the current policy (NYP 2015 - 2020)
- the draft document is a copy and paste of this current policy
- the consultations haven't yielded any substantial input into this new draft

We're calling on the Minister to extend the submission deadline and conduct more youth consultations

Why is this important?

It is important for young people to inform the national youth policy as the policy directly impacts them and their development trajectory

In addition, encouraging youth participation in the policy making process helps in nation building and active citizenship
