Coordination requires that all stakeholders be aware of each other’s policies, programmes and activities, and complement each other rather than compete. It also requires that coordinative procedures and responsibilities are clearly defined and implemented. Information sharing and awareness building of stakeholders is critical for the successful and efficient implementation of the Revised National Youth Policy, and to build the required trust and mutual understanding. Policies, programmes and projects are meaningless without successful implementation. Therefore, the Revised National Youth Policy needs to be realistic, focus on implementation, and be result-oriented. 3. AIM, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES 3.1 Policy Aim The overall aim of the policy is to mainstream and promote youth participation in community and civic affairs ensuring that youth programmes engage the youth and are youth-centred. 14
