National volunteering program (MO0062)

Challenge:

Volunteering is particularly important for young people as it increases their productivity, contributes to the development of their creative thinking, and strengthens their sense of mature citizenship and civic behaviour. It encourages them to participate in activities and events that allow them to express themselves freely and debate youth issues and public policies that concern them. However, youth volunteering is on the decline, leading to the emergence of some negative phenomena in the lives of this category of citizens and low participation in public life.

Proposed solution:

As part of this commitment, new editions of the national programme "Motatawi3" will be organised to strengthen the spirit of volunteering among young people and develop their civic behaviour through a series of consultative, training, and volunteering activities aimed at embedding service to the nation and pride in belonging to it. This includes organising weeks of civic vigilance and evaluation meetings of the annual "Motatawi3" programme, as well as annual national meetings of volunteer club leaders. This will create a space to involve civil society as a proposing force aiming to improve and develop the programme and measure its expected impacts, as well as a space for free expression and debate on youth issues and the public policies that concern them.
