The Federation of Liberian Youth (FLY) expresses profound gratitude and earnest
appreciation to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Carter Center and
partners for the continuous support towards the timely development of a National
Youth Manifesto ahead of the ensuing 2017 general and presidential elections. This
support wouldn’t have been more appropriate than now, especially when young people
are enthusiastically opting for meaningful participation and inclusion in national
decision-making processes.

NGO,S (NON GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION) by punjab universityShahzaib Khan
Non-governmental organizations, nongovernmental organizations, or nongovernment organizations, commonly referred to as NGOs, are usually nonprofit and sometimes international organizations independent of governments and international governmental organizations (though often funded by governments) that are active in humanitarian, educational, healthcare, public policy, social, human rights, environmental, and other areas to effect changes according to their objectives. They are thus a subgroup of all organizations founded by citizens, which include clubs and other associations that provide services, benefits, and premises only to members. Sometimes the term is used as a synonym of "civil society organization" to refer to any association founded by citizens, but this is not how the term is normally used in the media or everyday language, as recorded by major dictionaries. The explanation of the term by NGO.org (the non-governmental organizations associated with the United Nations) is ambivalent. It first says an NGO is any non-profit, voluntary citizens' group which is organized on a local, national or international level, but then goes on to restrict the meaning in the sense used by most English speakers and the media: Task-oriented and driven by people with a common interest, NGOs perform a variety of service and humanitarian functions, bring citizen concerns to Governments, advocate and monitor policies and encourage political participation through provision of information.
Nigeria’s first National Youth Policy1 (NYP), the framework that guides all matters related to youth development in Nigeria, was first formulated in 1989. This was followed up with a new National Youth Policy under a democratic dispensation in 2001 by the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports. The 2001 NYP made provision for a review every 5 years. A revised one was developed and adopted by the Federal Ministry of Youth Development in 2009. In 2016, the Federal Ministry of Youths and Sports Development (FMYSD) — the ministry responsible for youths in Nigeria — kick-started a review process that is two years late. Nevertheless, for such a document to be comprehensive, it is important that Nigerian youths, for whom the policy was originally designed, are part of the process.
“… The goal is to “empower” the poor, to provide them with the kind of assistance that will give them the confidence that, on their own, they can break out of poverty."
Role of charity and govt towards NGOs in pakistanShahzaib Khan
Pakistan is a country with a rapidly growing population, most of which lives below the poverty line. Neglect of the lower cadres of population by consecutive governments in Pakistan gave rise to the need of alternate. Organizations addressing the core issues of illiteracy, health problems and many others faced by the 'have nots'.
These bodies and Organizations filling the human development needs gap are commonly known as NGOs - Non- governmental Organizations OR more recently as NPOs- Non-Profit organisations.
Although the number of registered NGOs in Pakistan runs in thousands, those that are actually making worthwile contributions are few hundreds. In this website, we have made an effort to compile a list of the most prominent NGOs in Pakistan

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Who are the YOUTHS?
In the Philippines, the “Youth in Nation-Building
Act” (Republic Act 8044) defines youth as:
“… the critical period in a person’s growth and
development from the onset of adolescence
towards the peak of mature, self-reliant and
responsible adulthood comprising the
considerable sector of population from the age
of fifteen (15) to thirty (30) years of age.”
3. Youth Political
Participation???????????
A survey commissioned by the Episcopal
Commission on Youth of the Catholic
Church in 2002 reveals interesting trends
(cited by Rufo, 2003). Thus only 11.8
percent of young people polled believed
that being a responsible voter is the best
expression of love of country. Being law-
abiding (35.6 percent), speaking your
dialect (30.3 percent) and patronizing
Philippine products (19.9 percent) ranked
significantly higher.
4. Youth Political
Participation???????????
Moreover, only four in ten say they are socially
involved in one-way or the other. 41.7 percent
say they’re “afraid to get involved,” followed
by 30.5 percent who feel their participation
“will not make a difference.” Close to 20
percent say social involvement is a “waste of
time.”
5. Youth Political
Participation???????????
Another nationwide survey conducted by NFO-
Trends (cited by Rimando, 2001) among
respondents aged seven to 21 years of age does
little to inspire hope either. It shows that only 75
percent are able to name their local chief
executive (mayor or village chief), while only half
were able to identify their representative in
Congress. And although young people on an
average watch 10 to 14 hours of television a
week, only one in two have read a newspaper in
the same span of time.
6. The 1987 Philippine Constitution
Article II, Section 13
The 1987 Constitution, in its declaration of principles and
state policies, explicitly states that
“The State recognizes the vital role of the youth in nation-
building and shall promote and protect their physical,
moral, spiritual, intellectual and social well-being. It shall
inculcate in the youth patriotism and nationalism, and
encourage their involvement in public and civic
affairs.” (Article II, Section 13).
7. Sangguniang Kabataan (SK)
ORIGIN:
It was no other than former
President Ferdinand
Marcos who first
enshrined youth
participation in politics.
The Kabataang Barangay
(KB) or “Village Youth”
was a youth organization at
the grassroots level created
in 1975.
The KB’s demise was
concurrent with the return to
constitutional democracy in
the aftermath of the 1986
8. Sangguniang Kabataan (SK)
•As a successor of the KB, the Sangguniang Kabataan
(SK) is a unique system of youth representation at the
grassroots level. As stipulated in the Local Government
Code of 1991, it provides for the election of barangay 2
youth councils by those from 15 to below 18 years of
age.
•The SK president is an automatic member of the
municipal or city council. Aside from participation in
local policy-making,
•the SK also receives a 10 percent allocation from the
barangay budget to implement youth oriented welfare
programs. With this mandate and fiscal elbowroom, the
SK is in a good position to harness youthful energies for
9. While SK councils in rich
areas have enough funds
to engage in feeding
programs and support
scholars, their
counterparts in poorer
barangays are struggling
“In many localities, the SK is
best known for staging beauty
contests and basketball
tournaments rather than
critically engaging in issues of
the day.”
10. “Although barangay politics
and the SK in particular are
supposed to be non-
partisan, it is often said
that the SK has become a
training ground for so -
called “trapolitos,” 3 who
are learning the ropes of
wheeling and dealing in
politics from their elders.”
In some places, SK
representatives are
children or relatives of
established politicians
who are being groomed
for higher office.
11. Sangguniang Kabataan (SK)
•There have been numerous legislative
proposals to abolish the SK altogether.
However, some progressive groups feel
uneasy about such moves.
•Comments Akbayan Youth leader Jonas
Bagas: “Corruption and incompetence in the
Sangguniang Kabataan is not a function of
age. It is a product of patronage politics and
the absence of transparency and
accountability in the use of public funds.
12. Sangguniang Kabataan (SK)
The Akbayan Citizens’ Action Party has filed a “SK
Reform and Empowerment Bill of 2005” in the
Philippine Congress, calling for the establishment of
Youth Development Councils to help in the formulation
and monitoring of annual youth development plans at
the local level. The bill further calls for an anti-
dynasty provision, the implementation of a check
and balance system, fiscal transparency and
expansion of the coverage of the SK from 15 to 17
years to 15 to 25 years of age.
13. National Youth
Commission(NYC)
•Republic Act No. 8044, otherwise
known as the “Youth in Nation
Building Act of 1995”, provides that
the NYC shall be the policy-making
coordinating body of all youth-
related institutions, programs,
projects and activities of the
government. (Section 6)
•The National Youth Commission,
also known as the NYC, is a
government agency
that specifically
addresses issues surrounding
the Filipino youth. It was founded
on the 30th of June 1995, via
14. National Youth
Commission(NYC)
Section 8 of the same Act provides further NYC’s
objectives, as follows:
a) to provide the leadership in the formulation of policies
and in the setting of priorities and direction of all youth
promotion and development programs and activities;
b) to encourage wide and active participation of the youth
in all governmental and non-governmental programs,
projects and activities affecting them;
c) to harness and develop the full potential of the youth as
partners in nation-building; and
d) to supplement government appropriations for youth
promotion and development with funds from other sources.
15. National Youth
Commission(NYC)
Agency Goals
For its long-term objectives, NYC took on a
thematic approach in formulating its updated
agency goals, that are now focused on two (2)
major areas of youth concern – youth participation
to disaster risk reduction and management
councils and improvement of youth in agriculture
services/programs and projects. Given this, the
two NYC goals to be pursued are:
1) Institutionalization of youth participation in
disaster risk reduction and management councils;
and
2) Increased accessibility and availability of youth
in agriculture programs and services.

the government. NYC arranges for other government
agencies and private companies to hire out-of-school,
unemployed youth as interns who receive a monthly stipend
that is 75% of the minimum wage.
National Youth Parliament
The NYP is a 3-day convention of youth leaders every two
years wherein policy recommendations are formulated to
address youth issues, and serve as government’s guide in
policy formulation and program development. Started in
