Youth Programmatic Inventory

About the Survey

Jamaica recognises a Youth as a young person with an age range from 15 to 29 years old. This group comprises approximately 28% of the country’s population. As signaled by the National Youth Policy, the relative size of the youth population and the role of youth in the development of the society and economy, call for greater focus to be placed on investing in youth development to ensure the continued sustainability and prosperity of the society. To further facilitate the advancement of youths and youth programmes and services, the Youth and Adolescents Policy Division (YAPD) of the Ministry of Education and Youth (MOEY) is currently leading the development of an electronic database system that will create an online inventory system of programmes/services provided by youth organisations. The Youth Programmatic Inventory seeks to electronically document and provide a platform for increased coordination of youth programmes/services to youths across Jamaica
To formulate a basis for the National Youth Programmatic Inventory (NYPI), the YAPD asks for the participation of organisations that provide programmes and services that cater to Jamaican youths. The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. We recommend gathering supporting documents that detail the mission and objectives of your organisation to assist in completing the survey
