The World Bank Lebanon Country Office is establishing the “Lebanon Youth Advisory Group” (YAG) and is seeking interested youth to apply.
One of the main objective of the Lebanon YAG is to engage youth in continuous dialogue with Bank Staff and provide comments to World Bank-supported programs and activities. This voluntary advisory group, composed of 20-25 young men and women from diverse backgrounds, would create a pathway for youth to participate and engage in policy discussion and communicate their concerns.
YAGs are hoped to enhance the effectiveness of World Bank operations and empower youth by engaging them in the decision-making process. Apart from the mutual learning gained both by the Bank and the youth, the main positive impact it had on the ongoing World Bank-supported projects were the “young, fresh and innovative” ideas and viewpoints these youths had. It helped strengthen project design with youth “reality check” incorporated.
Selected youth would take part in the following proposed activities:
