About

أسبوع الشباب والسلام والأمن في الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا (MENA YPS Week) هو مبادرة رائدة يقودها الائتلاف الإقليمي للشباب والسلام والأمن في الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا (MENA4YPS)، ويُعد منصة شبابية للتنسيق الاستراتيجي وبناء القدرات وتبادل المعرفة.

يهدف الأسبوع إلى جمع القيادات الشبابية الصاعدة وأعضاء من منظمات المجتمع المدني العاملة تحت مظلة الائتلاف الإقليمي للشباب والسلام والأمن من مختلف أنحاء المنطقة، بالشراكة مع عدد من وكالات الأمم المتحدة وشركاء التنمية المختارين، من أجل التطوير المشترك لأدوات عملية مثل “خارطة الطريق الوطنية للشباب والسلام والأمن لعشر سنوات” و”الاستراتيجية الثلاثية للائتلاف الإقليمي”، واللتين تسهمان في توجيه عمل الائتلاف وخططه الإقليمية المستقبلية.

يعكس هذا الأسبوع القيادة الشبابية والالتزام الحقيقي بدفع الأجندات التي يقودها الشباب في مجالات السلام والأمن، ويركّز على الأولويات المنطلقة من القواعد المجتمعية في مختلف أنحاء المنطقة.

The week reflects Youth leadership and commitment to advancing youth-led agendas in peace and security, and centre’s grassroots-driven priorities throughout the region.
