National youth service programmes : where have we got to? what is our immediate task?

Abstract

This paper seeks i) to summarize some of the main conclusions and recommendations arrived at in meetings on both a world and an African regional level during the decade which is ending, and II) to pose a number of questions to which it would be useful for the Seminar to provide answers. National Youth Service Programmes. This term gives rise to some confusion. Sometimes it is equated with Youth Service or Youth Services to mean the total provision of services of all kinds, including recreational and welfare services, available in a country: sometimes it refers only to such services which are provided by government, on a national scale.
