Dear list,
On behalf of the Network of Asia Pacific Youth we are delighted to announce
that, World AIDS Campaign and the Mexico Youth Force ( Part of the world
AIDS Conference 2008) introducing the Youth Partnership Initiative (YPI..
The YPI will
pair youth leaders with established leaders of a wide-range of
constituencies, to establish a two-way learning experience as well as build
sustainable partnerships.
On the Youth Partnership Initiative, the age limit for youth applications is
up to 29. Each organization can nominate a maximum of 2 people, so Network
of Asia Pacific Youth can nominate 2 people. Please note that nominations
are due by April 18th, 2008. Please feel free to disseminate this widely.
For further detail and nomination form please do contact us at *
admin (at) networkofasiapacificyouth.org* or
write to me directly. As in the e list I cannot send attachments.
All the best.
Agniva Lahiri
Coordinator
Network of Asia Pacific Youth
Here is the detail of the YPI.
Throughout the upcoming 2008 International AIDS Conference, the World AIDS
Campaign*[1]*and
the Mexico Youth Force
*[2]*,
will implement the Mexico City Youth Partnership Initiative (YPI). The YPI
will seek to pair youth leaders with established leaders of a wide-range of
constituencies, in order for youth to develop practical leadership skills
experientially, as well as for the constituencies to learn from youth
leaders and develop partnerships with youth as a constituency.
The YPI will establish a two-way learning process to promote mutual
understanding, facilitate networking, and enable a transfer of knowledge and
skills between the participants. Through its Global Steering Committee (GSC)
*[3]*,
the WAC will identify and encourage leaders from the constituencies of
media, people living with HIV and AIDS, business, women, non-governmental
organisations, youth, activists, faith and labour, to take part in this
initiative. In addition, leaders from academia, parliamentarians, harm
reduction and MSM will be engaged.
To select the established leaders from these constituencies, each
constituency will be asked to nominate 2 people. A subcommittee within the
Mexico Youth Force will then select 1 person for each constituency, who will
be invited to participate in the initiative.
* *
*Benefits of the Initiative*
Through the Youth Partnership Initiative, it is hoped that each constituency
will gain awareness of how to integrate youth perspectives into their work,
while youth will develop greater knowledge on ways to work with different
constituencies, establishing sustainable and fruitful partnerships. In this
sense, specific benefits may include:
*For youth leaders:*
· Increased knowledge of the work of other constituencies;
· Improved ability to identify and take advantage of leadership
opportunities as they arise in the community served;
· Increased self-confidence, judgment, motivation and initiative;
· Increased technical support and guidance for on-going work;
· Ongoing, sustained relationship with and potential for partnerships
* *
* *
* *
*For established leaders:*
· Increased awareness of youth leaders' needs, programmes and
activities to make a difference in their communities;
· Increased commitment to take concrete action to promote youth
leadership in programmes and policies;
· Greater exposure to much-needed youth perspectives, which can
improve programme outcomes and make them more sustainable, relevant and
effective;
· Ongoing, sustained relationship and potential partnerships
· Establishment of sustainable youth-adult partnerships which can
scale up the community-level work of the youth participant and influence the
adult allies priority HIV interventions.
Through sustainable partnerships, inter-constituency work will be
strengthened, leading to concrete opportunities for the development of joint
initiatives, fundraising opportunities, and overall cross-fertilisation of
ideas.
*What does it involve?*
* *
The YPI requires a series of commitments from each constituency,
principally:
1. Each constituency should nominate 2 people and send their
nominees to *ahumadac (at) worldaidscampaign.org*using
the provided nomination form, no later than
18th April, 2008. Youth organisations will also be asked to submit 2
nominees each, and 1 youth leader will be selected to match with each
constituency. The selection of all leaders will be done by the Mexico Youth
Force, which will select a total of 24 leaders (12 youth and 12 from other
constituencies).
2. Once the leaders from each constituency have been selected, they
will be put in touch with their partner youth leader. They should be
available to exchange emails or have monthly conference calls to get to know
one another and discuss how they think the partnership can benefit both
constituencies.
3. Immediately prior to the opening of the 2008 International AIDS
Conference, on Sunday 3rd August, 2008, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., as a
side-event of the youth pre-conference, the WAC will organize a brief
two-hour opening meeting of the adult and youth leaders. The objective of
the meeting will be to make sure that both youth and established leaders
have an initial opportunity to meet and personally get to know one another;
clearly understand their roles during the Youth Partnership Initiative
program; and mutually discuss and clarify their expectations. The first hour
will be in the form of a plenary, while the second hour will provide
participants with the opportunity to begin to work as pairs. All selected
leaders will be expected to take-part in this meeting.
4. During the 2008 International AIDS Conference, each pair of
partners will shadow one another for two of the five conference days. One
day will involve the youth shadowing the adult, and the other, the adult
shadowing the youth.
5. An abstract was submitted to the AIDS2008 to present the
outcomes of this initiative during the end of the IAC. If the abstract is
accepted, selected leaders will be asked to participate in this
presentation.
6. At the end of the Conference, on Friday 8th August, from 3 to 5
p.m., there will be another brief two-hour meeting of the adult and youth
leaders. The purpose will be to take stock of the Youth Partnership
Initiative and discuss if it has worked well and how it could be improved.
In particular, the participants of the Initiative will have the opportunity
to meet in person and discuss the sustainability of their recently built
relationships. The main outcome of the meeting will be for the Initiative
participants to individually (i.e. as pairs) agree on how to continue and
sustain their relationships. For this purpose, during the first hour
participants will work with their partners on defining concrete next steps,
while the second hour will be used to share these steps with all
participants and identify ways in which the WAC can support them.
Participants will also be given an evaluation questionnaire to complete.
7. After the Conference, it is expected that the partnership
between leaders will continue to develop. The WAC will be available to
provide support and facilitate communication between partners, particularly
if both sides will engage in upcoming key events, such as the World Summit
on MDGs and/or World AIDS Day. In addition, 6 months after the Conference,
participants will be expected to complete a questionnaire to evaluate the
sustainability of the partnership.

Subject: [NAPY2004] Hi all
Dear Kiko and fellow napiers,
Thanks so much for the e-mail. It's been so long but I still remember you
all fondly. So many things happened that I became busy and couldn't keep in
touch. I am so proud of you all for sticking together and making NAPY a
name to reckon with. Thank you all.
I am currently a Master's student of journalism at New York University. I
have been in New York since last fall. I left Tibetan Women's Association 2
and a half years ago and later worked with some publications before moving
to the United States.
