The Palestinian Network for Media Development Organization, represented by its Chairman, journalist Dr. Yousef Al Krunz, participated in the fifth meeting of the Youth Advisory Council for Youth Employment, chaired by the Minister of Labour, Dr. Enas Al-Atari. The meeting brought together council members from various youth and entrepreneurial institutions across the West Bank and Gaza Strip to discuss the key challenges facing Palestinian youth in the labour market and explore mechanisms to enhance employment opportunities and economic empowerment.
During the meeting, Minister of Labour Dr. Enas Al-Atari emphasized that the Youth Advisory Council for Employment serves as the voice of Palestinian youth in shaping labour and employment policies. She noted that the council aims to strengthen youth participation in developing solutions related to unemployment, vocational training, and entrepreneurship, thereby contributing to the creation of a labour market that is more responsive to the needs and aspirations of young people.
Council members also discussed a number of youth-led initiatives aimed at reducing unemployment rates and increasing employment opportunities. Participants agreed to continue developing these initiatives in preparation for presenting several of them to international donor organizations for potential support and implementation in a manner that benefits Palestinian youth.
The participation of the Palestinian Network for Media Development Organization comes as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting initiatives that empower young people and enhance their professional and media-related capacities, contributing to their active participation in sustainable development.
