[DRAFT] National Youth Policy 2020-2030

The National Youth Policy (NYP) for 2020-2030 (NYP 2030) is a cross-sectoral policy aimed at effecting positive youth development efforts from local, provincial and national levels in South Africa. It is developed collaboratively by multiple stakeholders in consultation with young people, for all young people in South Africa, with the intent to redress the wrongs and injustices of the past and to deal decisively with persistent as well as the new and emerging challenges of the country’s diverse youth. The participants included youth focal points; young women and young men from all geographical spheres of the country, youth with disabilities, civil society, private sector and young students across all provinces which culminated to national consultation as a way of consolidating inputs and youth voice in the policy.
