Dear GKD Members, I was commissioned late last year by the ILO's Asia Pacific Region to prepare best practice examples from the 26 ILO member countries in the region of youth employment generation through ICT.
I can now announce that the paper, in initial draft form, is available at <http://www.ilo.org/public/english/region/asro/bangkok/conf/youth/tt_paper/t t_paper.htm> The principles used to identify best practice examples are: promoting youth entrepreneurship; promoting public-private partnerships; targeting vulnerable groups of young people; and bridging the gap between the digital economy and the informal sector and putting young people in charge. It is, I believe, a useful survey of what is happening on the ground as reported on the web and in the media. The paper includes fourteen recommendations to encourage wider diffusion of the best practice. Your comments would be most welcomed and acknowledged in the final revision of the paper before hardcopy publication.
