Forthcoming policy developments

Aġenzija Żgħażagħ, in collaboration with the Ministry for Justice and a number of youth stakeholders, is working on a youth impact mechanism called Youth Proofing. The idea behind this mechanism is that the Government will have an impact assessment framework, involving young people, to measure the impact of policies during their ex-ante stage. 

Ongoing debates

The National Youth Policy called for the setting of a system for youth proofing that ensures that all enacted legislations, formulated policies, strategic plans and initiatives consider young people and their particular needs. Implementing such a strategy has already started to be discussed with relevant stakeholders during the annual national youth conference organised by Agenzija Zghazagh.
