Youth Cabinet

The Youth Cabinet is an institutional tool created by the government of the province of Santa Fe to incorporate the visions of youth in the development of public policies. This innovation consists of the creation of an institutional space to integrate the young people between 15 and 29 years in the Ministries of the Province. The intent is for the recognition of the new generations as a strategic sector for the realization of inclusive policies, for which they are encouraged to participate by raising proposals and evaluating public policies. The Cabinet is integrated by young people from different cities of the regions of the province, such as: Tostado, Reconquista, Rafaela, Sunchales, Santo Tomé, Santa Fe, Oliveros, Perez, Rosario and Venado Tuerto. The Youth Cabinet is formed by two young people by ministry (12 portfolios) and a secretariat with rank of ministry. The Cabinet has meetings every 15 days, where it convenes work committees to develop concrete proposals that are then raised from the scope of this Cabinet.
