Consultations to elaborate on the Proposal of Panama Youth Policy

The Consultations to elaborate on the Proposal of Panama Youth Policy were held between May and July 2004. They were convened by the then Ministry of Youth, Women, Children and Family (Span. MINJUMNFA), now the Ministry of Social Development, with the technical and financial support from the United Nations Population Fund. In total, 14 consultations were held, including specific consultations with youth from indigenous organizations, youth with disabilities and youth organizations, 5 provincial consultations, and 6 consultations with young beneficiaries of MINJUMNFA programs. It is estimated that 500 young people participated. In addition, a group of representatives of government institutions and civil society organizations that provided services and programs for Panamanian youth were also consulted.
