Youth and Adolescent Development

PROTTYASHI will inclusively focus on the young generation, i.e., the youth and adolescents, to ensure they have the agency, rights, skills, tools, influence, and opportunities to pursue their life goals, live a decent life, support families, and contribute to the development of their communities and the country. PROTTYASHI undertakes the following approach:

Access and Development: Enabling youth and adolescents to access high-quality information, safe services, and livelihood opportunities while building the skills, tools, and inputs they need to lead healthy, productive, and engaged lives. In this process, PROTTYASHI will establish skill development centres in the areas where it is needed through a rigorous market assessment along with expanding its services through its specialized institute named as PROTTYASHI Institute of Technology which is already operationalized.

Participation and Decision-Making: Increasing youths and adolescents’ participation in decision-making at individual, household, community, and national levels to develop them as a driving force of decision making, policy formulation and development. 

Youth Leadership: Nurturing youth leadership through capacity building in soft and life skills. PROTTYASHI keeps continuing its effort to excel on life skill resources and also partnering with the Bangladesh Technical Education Board (BTEB) and National Skills Development Authority (NSDA) to enhance collaboration and participation to develop marketable skills among the aspirant youths to get best out of the population dividend.

Integration and Protection: Integrating youth-focused elements to ensure they are well-protected and better served by local and national systems, including skills development, entrepreneurship opportunities in an inclusive manner in a safe environment.
