The Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement has set to finalize a strategic plan which is designed to implement the country’s National Youth Policy.

“After strategic plan for Youth Policy is completed, the ministry will implement it in stages. We will start this year,” said union minister Dr Win Myat Aye on the sidelines of the third meeting in the drafting of a strategic plan for the Youth Policy held in Nay Pyi Taw earlier in the week.

The Youth Policy was first drafted in 2016 and finalized late last year. It was released by State Counsellor Dar Aung San Suu Kyi on January 5, 2018.

“Strategic plan is very important so we need to make it as detailed as possible,” said Dr Win Myat Aye.

In drawing the strategic plan for youth policy, important issues such as health, education, drug abuse will be put in the 16 sectors of Youth Policy, said Daw San San Aye, Director General of the Department of Social Welfare.

The Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement expects the completion of the Strategic Plan for Youth Policy in November and it hopes to begin implementing it thereafter.

“If we can implement this strategy systematically for the next generations, it can change many things. I hope it will be a policy that we can rely on,” said Wai Yan Aung, secretary of Youth Affairs Committee from Magwe Region.
