CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION


FATA SECRETARIAT 5

INTRODUCTION

Federally Administered Tribal Areas

The Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) is strategically located between the

Pakistan-Afghanistan border and the settled areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). FATA,

both historically and traditionally, occupies a unique administrative and political status

from the British times, since 1849. In 1893, most of the areas which is now in FATA

came under British rule by a demarcation with Afghanistan, called Durand Line. The area

was controlled through a combination of effective Political Agents (PAs) and tribal

elders, while leaving the people with their traditions and internal independence. Pakistan

inherited this system from British, and with little modification, it is practiced even today.

Since the independence of Pakistan, FATA has not been accorded the same constitutional

status as prevails in rest of Pakistan. It is kept as low priority in terms of the development

process being undertaken in other parts of the country. The development initiatives and

allocations in FATA followed a compartmentalized approach, concentrated around

sectoral facilities and benefiting a few influential and politically active sections. This

adhoc approach deprived large segments of the population from social uplift, and

economic empowerment (FATA, History of FATA)1.

Under the Constitution, FATA is included amongst the territories of Pakistan (Article 1).

It is represented in the National Assembly and the Senate, but remains under the direct

executive authority of the President (Articles 51, 59 and 247). Laws framed by the

National Assembly do not apply here, unless so ordered by the President, who is also

empowered to issue regulations for the peace and good government of tribal areas.

Today, FATA continues to be governed primarily through the Frontier Crimes Regulation

1901 (FATA, Administrative System)2.

FATA SECRETARIAT 6

All the agencies and FRs in FATA3 give a very versatile ethnic picture. Different tribes

live across this mountainous belt at the border with Afghanistan and live as per their

tribal cultural norms and values. These tribes share similarities in their cultural norms, yet

exhibit visible differences from one another in minor details of life style and the day-to-

day running of affairs of their respective societies.

FATA has a tremendous amount of natural resources; however, economic development in

FATA is a different issue altogether. The locals usually depend on livestock and

agriculture for their livelihood, save for some who choose to migrate outside of FATA in

search of work, some of whom settle in the Middle-East as laborers, to generate income

for their families.

FATA emerged on the global arena in the last decade, as the center for terrorism and a

safe haven for terrorist and militant groups. This unfortunately resulted in serious

consequences for the general public of FATA. Since then, the general public of FATA

has been stigmatized as potential terrorists and/or extremists, nationally as well as

internationally. The fight against terrorism in FATA has resulted in the migration of its

people to Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps set up in different parts of Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa. The worst part of this ongoing insurgency has been the recruitment of the

youth by terrorist groups to carry out terrorism across Pakistan and especially in FATA.

FATA Youth Policy Background

Pakistan is currently facing the phenomenon of a youth bulge (overpopulation of the

youth) in the context of its rapid population’ growth rate of 2% annually. Thus, Pakistan

is among the list of countries with the highest population growth rate globally. Youth, is

by far the biggest demographic group in Pakistan. According to the Pakistan National

Youth Policy:

‘Pakistan’s population profile is changing. The proportion of working age population is

3The seven agencies are South Waziristan, North Waziristan, Kurram, Orakzai, Khyber,

Mohmand and Bajaur. The six Frontier Regions (FRs) are FR Tank, FR Dera Ismail Khan,

FR Lakki, FR Bannu FR Kohat and FR Peshawar


FATA SECRETARIAT 7

increasing and offering a window of opportunity to turn this demographic transition into

a “demographic dividend”. This “demographic dividend” provides a great opportunity

to steer the energies of youth for Pakistan’s economic growth and well-being’. (Pakistan

National Youth Policy 2008)4.

If the youth bulge is not dealt with responsibly, it can result in bigger problems for the

entire country. Pakistan is already facing many socio-political problems. Issues of

unemployment and a lack of access to resources due to overpopulation can further result

in frustrated and violent youth groups across the country, and especially in FATA.

According to other reports, tendencies towards collective and group violence are also

increasing because of sectarian, ethnic, religious and political segregation of Pakistani

society. It must be added that the spread of terrorist outfits in FATA, and resultant

internal displacement of people to urban centers has also precipitated violence because

the displaced youth could neither be rehabilitated nor employed.

The only way out of this rapidly deteriorating condition and increasing youth-violence is

to create enough economic growth and employment opportunities. But this seems to be

too ambitious a dream to be realized at least in the foreseeable future. However, the

seriousness of the issue demands priority attention, and the problem of integration into

the national workforce must be tackled urgently as a part of a counter-terrorism strategy;

for employing the young would not only help the economy but also cripple the

extremists’ ability to turn the youth-bulge into a terrorist surplus (Sheikh 2013)5.

With the youth being the biggest demographic group, along with the possible threat of

becoming increasingly frustrated and violent, it is perhaps high time to address the youth

of FATA. Keeping in view the need for addressing FATA youth problems and requiring

a strategy to involve and utilize this great potential, the Governor of Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa in August, 2013, took an initiative to chalk out a FATA Youth Policy.

RADICALIZATION/>


FATA SECRETARIAT 8

According to the FATA Reforms, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor, has declared to chalk

out a well thought out youth policy and said he will personally contribute an inspirational

role not only in finalizing the document but also enable the youth from FATA to play a

leading role in every field of life. The preparation and declaration of the Fata Youth

Policy, he added, is now a matter of weeks rather than months and I am already in contact

with the concerned circles to ensuring it a complete depiction of the aspirations and

present day needs of the youth (FATA Reforms 2013).

“We intend to enable youth from Fata not only to get jobs but also act as job providers

and play a significant role in economic development of our beloved motherland as well

as to help the Fata Youth to stand on their own feet and serve their respective families

and areas as well”, (FATA Reforms 2013)6.

METHODOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING A FATA YOUTH POLICY

Formulation of the FATA Youth Policy comes in the backdrop of the Governor Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa commitment to chalking out a policy to better utilize the potential of the

FATA youth. In order to ensure that a meaningful draft of the FATA Youth Policy is

developed in time for immediate and effective implementation, the Additional Chief

Secretary, FATA Secretariat initiated the process.

The methodology was three pronged: (i) reviewing the already existing literature and

policies available in Pakistan, (ii) holding meetings with different representatives of

government departments working for the youth in FATA, and (iii) holding focus group

discussions with members from different FATA youth groups and organizations. This

approach was adopted to ensure an all-inclusive approach of stakeholders and especially

youth from FATA.

FATA SECRETARIAT 9

Literature Review of Youth Policies in Pakistan

Pakistan has an already existing National Youth Policy. The National Policy is an

overarching document and has tapped almost all possible areas related to youth

development at the national level. The Punjab province has also developed and approved

a Punjab Youth Policy while the Sindh province has developed a draft which is awaiting

approval in the provincial assembly. A review of the Punjab Youth Policy reveals a very

detailed and self-explanatory policy that takes into account their respective cultural needs

and norms. The same can be said about the draft Sindh Youth Policy.

Similarly, the guidelines and the sketch draft developed for the FATA Youth Policy is

very focused and all-encompassing. However, these are merely guidelines requiring the

input and opinion of the FATA youth and government representatives associated with

youth issues.

Meetings with Government Representatives

In the second stage of formulating-a FATA Youth Policy, meetings were arranged with

several government officials. These meeting were held with the Director General, FATA

Sports and Youth Affairs Department, the FATA Secretariat, Director Skills

Development, FATA Development Authority, and Coordinator PCNA ISU, FATA

Secretariat. These meetings were held in order to discuss ongoing as well as planned

youth-specific activities and projects.

Focus Group Discussion with FATA Youth

At the third stage consultative sessions and focus group discussions (FGDs) were held

with young persons from FATA. Different youth members were identified with the help

of the FATA Youth Forum; a FATA youth organization that played a key role in the

initiation of the FATA Youth Policy. It was ensured that young persons from every


FATA SECRETARIAT 10

Agency and Frontier Region participated in the consultative process to ensure proper

representation. Details of the participants are in annex 2

All participants involved in the two separate sessions were oriented about the FATA

Youth Policy and its importance. The general issues faced by the youth in Pakistan were

also discussed and finally, key problems faced by the FATA youth were highlighted.

Later, participants were grouped on the basis of their belonging to a specific Agency or

Frontier Region. All groups considered the need for FATA Youth Policy and

brainstormed different ideas that they believed were essential for inclusion in the policy.

Different developmental initiatives of importance that needed consideration in the first

year of the policy implementation were also discussed. At the end of their FGDs, every

group shared their views in the form of presentations. The participants also answered a

qualitative questionnaire in order to record their opinion and concerns.

The data collected from the minutes of the meetings with various government officials

and from the FGDs with FATA youth members, has been closely studied and considered

while developing this FATA Youth Policy Draft.

CHAPTER 2

KEY CHALLENGES TO YOUTH IN

FATA


FATA SECRETARIAT 12

KEY CHALLENGES TO THE YOUTH IN FATA

‘Youth’ is defined as a period during which a person prepares himself/ herself to be an

active and fully responsible member of society. It is a period of transformation from

family dependent childhood to an independent adulthood and integration in the society as

a responsible citizen. The period of life which youth represents is most productive and

useful by virtue of the nascent energies they are endowed with by nature. The young

people aspire for full participation in the life of a society. If appropriate opportunities are

made available to put their natural endowment to creative, productive and useful

channels, Pakistani Youth is indeed capable of working miracles (FATA Youth Policy

Concept Note 2013).

It is a known fact that Pakistan is experiencing a tremendous demographic transition,

which has resulted in the youth bulge. Similarly, FATA is also encountering the youth

bulge phenomenon as the majority of the tribal population falls under the age group of

15-29 years. The Government has taken several initiatives for involving the youth in

multiple sectors, especially in the political sphere. In the spirit of mainstreaming and

encouraging the youth in political procedures and the running of state bodies, the voting

age was lowered to 18 years in 2002. This was a bold statement on part of the

government as it demonstrates the trust they place in their young generation. In the last

decade, one of the positive steps for mainstreaming FATA was the extension of the

“Political Parties Act” to FATA by the President of Pakistan. This step, on part of the

government provided an opportunity and forum for the FATA youth to not only

participate in elections, but also understand the value of their voting right and inclusion in

political decision-making.

Another life altering change for the FATA youth was the displacement of FATA

residents from their native lands to different settled areas of Pakistan, in response to the

active operations in FATA against terrorism. This internal displacement provided an

opportunity for the FATA youth to have firsthand experience and contact with the people


FATA SECRETARIAT 13

of settled urban areas, thus providing them exposure to multiple forms of facilities,

including mobile services, computers and internet facilities.

FATA youth is faced with multiple challenges such as, having to deal with the spread of

terrorism/radicalism, lack of educational facilities, unemployment and the lack of

political empowerment at the local level. This has left most feeling deprived and

discriminated against. The purpose of the FATA Youth Policy is to counter this attitude

with a more optimistic and tolerant view towards life and society. The FATA Youth

Policy hopes to give an effective direction to its youth in living a purposeful life and

participating as responsible members of the community. Thus, this policy aims to help

channelize the energy of the FATA youth into a progressive force, who shall work

towards the improvement of their communities and society as a whole. It endeavors to do

this by providing an enabling environment for social, political and economic

empowerment. It also aims to focus and invest in nation building, patriotism, social

cohesion and volunteerism amongst the FATA youth, in order to develop a new cadre of

youth, encompassing these value systems.

This policy takes into account the ground realities highlighted in the FATA YPCN 2013

i.e.:

‘FATA has shown that it appreciates its youth by putting in place effective structures and

strategies to ensure that young people participate fully in national and community life.

Although these structures and policies are in place, yet young people are not integrated in

the mainstream of economic growth and development. The accelerated and shared growth

initiative for FATA recognizes that young people should be at the center of economic

growth. This means that they have to be willing, have skills and be able to identify and

take their place in the economic sphere. The youth program/policy has a new

developmental approach which seeks to encourage them to contribute to family and

community activities as well as to their own health mental and emotional well-being.

This approach is holistic, positive and encourages the full participation of youth in

developmental processes. It promotes self-representation and self-determination by

recognizing youth as a normal phase of life’. (FATA YPCN, 2013)


FATA SECRETARIAT 14

Addressing the youth requires an understanding of what issues and challenges they

are faced with. Knowledge of these challenges will help identify critical areas of

intervention. Broadly speaking, these challenges can be categorized into ‘economic’,

‘social’ and ‘political’ spheres. In this chapter, an outline of these challenges is

provided.

Terrorism and the Wave of Radical Ideology

The first and most complex challenge that is faced by the FATA youth is that of terrorism

and radical ideology persisting in FATA. FATA people have suffered immensely at the

hands of various terrorist and extremist groups that were and are still operating from

these regions.

Economic Challenges

The educated and uneducated youth in FATA are facing great challenges in securing

employment due to limited employment opportunities within FATA, and the fact that

potential employers outside FATA often associate them with terrorism and extremism.

Moreover, youth who aspire to be self-employed and become entrepreneurs face a series

of hurdles, ranging from the lack of credit facilities to the absence of proper mentoring

and training.

Education for Youth Development

Education in FATA is at a very discouraging stage. The lack of well-equipped

educational facilities and the unavailability of teaching staff have left most students

deprived of good quality education. Ongoing armed conflict has also caused the

destruction of the few existing schools and colleges, and has left families hesitant in

sending their children to schools due to fear of violence.


FATA SECRETARIAT 15

The Youth Bulge and Demographic Transition in Pakistan

According to the Punjab Youth Policy 2012:

‘Pakistan is undergoing a dramatic demographic transition. According to the recent

projections made by US Census Bureau, population of Pakistan in mid-2012 is

estimated to be 190,291,129 and the active age group of youth falling between the ages

of 15-29 years (57,862,590) contributes to 30.4% of this total projected population.

Youth under 29 years of age are estimated at 123,934,419, which is 65.1

percent of the total Pakistani population. This "youth bulge" is not inherently

dangerous, but when governments are unable to foster work opportunities and

platforms for expression and engagements, or the prospects of stability, youth bulge

can exacerbate the risks of internal disorders’ (PYP 2012)7.

Hence, the youth bulge in FATA can prove to be very critical for all stakeholders. The

size of the youth group has placed ‘youth’ in the top priority list of the government.

Adolescent and Youth Health Rights

The Preamble to the Constitution of the World Health Organization that came into force

in 1948, defines ‘health’ in the following terms:

‘Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the

absence of disease or infirmity’. (World Health Organization)8

In the light of this definition, FATA youth can hardly be placed in the category of healthy

individuals, not because they suffer from diseases, but because the majority of them do

not have access to health services and counseling. It is quite possible that the recent

wave of terrorism in FATA has caused many young people to suffer from traumatic stress

disorders and depression, who may be in dire need of psychosocial support.

FATA SECRETARIAT 16

Social Empowerment

Healthy development and integration of the youth in the running and management of a

community, not only enables individuals but also empowers families, organizations, and

communities. Forms of such social empowerment can include: (i) youth volunteerism

and community service (ii) youth exchange programs and (iii) living with cultural

diversity - pluralism, peace and harmony.

Political Participation and Engagement of Youth

FATA has always been marginalized in political processes throughout its history. This

exclusion was due to the fact that administrative and legislative processes for FATA

have always been very different from the rest of the country. As a result, FATA youth

remained oblivious to their political rights and to the importance of their participation

in political activities. It was only recently that the ‘Political Parties Act’ was extended

to FATA. As a result, FATA, for the first time ever took active part in the 2013 general

elections in Pakistan.

One of the key indicators of youth development is to see how the youth is engaged in

affairs of the community, schools, governments, civil society organizations and other

local structures. Active engagement of the youth in political processes will help train

them for future roles as leaders and representatives of their communities.

Information Gap on Youth

Despite the existence of the youth bulge, there is meager reliable data available on

youth issues in FATA. This leads to a reliance on secondary information from

international and national sources, mostly in the form of media reports. Relying on

such information, will not only create information dependency but also result in less

efficient initiatives for the betterment of the youth in general. Gathering and

researching primary facts and figures regarding the youth bulge and the issues faced by


FATA SECRETARIAT 17

the FATA youth will help coordinate the developmental process and result in stronger

and sustainable ownership of developmental initiatives.

Youth Rights of Minority, Differently-able Youth and Other

Vulnerable Youth Groups

‘Youth’ does not mean one specific group of healthy individuals. In fact, wherever this

phrase is mentioned, it must be clear that it encompasses all members of the group,

regardless of their gender, physical vulnerability and ethnic or religious background.

Yet, there are some youth groups who face adverse treatment based on their religious

background, physical/mental vulnerabilities etc. For example:

Religious minorities are highly excluded from and at times face discrimination

in society. One of the main concerns of this group is the equal opportunity in the

attainment of education and employment.

Exclusion of ‘differently-able youth’ in youth programs and policies must be

avoided and integration must be made compulsory.

Gender Discrimination

Gender discrimination is another major challenge for the FATA youth; be it the number

of schools for girls, colleges at the agency level or even their quota in government jobs;

FATA females are mostly discriminated against. Gender discrimination in FATA has

resulted in a very grim picture. For example, there are severely limited employment

opportunities for educated women, particularly in the government sector. Gender

sensitive development has rarely been seen in FATA. Both, culture and the recent wave

of radical ideology in FATA have a key role to play in the visible gender discrimination.

Thus, the female literacy ratio is only 3% in FATA, in comparison with the 32.02%

female literacy rate overall across Pakistan and 18.82% in KP alone9. Female mobility

and empowerment in the development of FATA has been crippled due to the insecure

<http://fata.gov.pk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=55&Itemid=91>


FATA SECRETARIAT 18

conditions prevailing at the academic and professional level. Moreover, their

representation in decision and policy making is rarely observed. On the other hand, those

who are willing to participate are not always given the opportunity. In order to curb

gender discrimination at multiple levels, special attention needs to be given to the needs

of the female youth in the overall development of the FATA Youth Policy.


FATA SECRETARIAT 19

CHAPTER 3

MANDATE AND PRINCIPLES OF

FATA YOUTH POLICY


FATA SECRETARIAT 20

MANDATE OF THE FATA YOUTH POLICY

The mandate of the FATA Youth Policy is to create and ensure an enabling environment

for economic, political and social empowerment of the FATA youth. The Policy aims to

help clarify the rights, entitlements and responsibilities of the youth in the context of the

Pakistani state and international conventions. It maps out and caters to contextual needs,

challenges and the situation of the youth in FATA, with the vision of initiating, informing

and implementing a comprehensive concept of integrated youth development across the

public policy domain. The FATA Youth Policy aims at guiding the youth and all

stakeholders towards a coordinated effort for an optimistic, talented and dedicated

generation of individuals, who will work for the betterment of their communities as well

as for the country.

Vision

‘To create an enabling environment for the FATA youth, by providing them

equitable opportunities to realize their full potential in a safe, secure, and conducive

environment. To develop a generation of youth who are working for the betterment of

their communities and the prosperity of their country’.

Mission

‘To build a generation of youth who are economically productive and independent,

socially empowered and politically engaged; a generation of youth, who may become

future leaders of Pakistan; a generation, groomed to be the best human resource for the

running of the public and private machinery of the country; a generation of youth, who

possess strong potential, greater understanding of global politics and hold tolerant values

of good citizenship’.


FATA SECRETARIAT 21

Definition of “Youth”

Given the context and perspective of the youth in Pakistan, youth can be defined as:

‘The phase of physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual growth, between the age

cohorts of 15 to 29 years, when youth actively pursue to develop attitudes, skills,

knowledge and competencies to realize their potential and strength at an optimal level

for the well-being of themselves, their family, communities and the country’(PYP

2012)10.

Core Values and Principles of FATA Youth Policy

FATA Policy holds the following core values:

Youth as agents of change and a symbol of hope and aspiration for the nation;

Youth as the positive potential and strength for national development, rather

than as an instrument for serving vested interests;

Character, courage, excellence, tolerance, team-play and perseverance as pillars

of the super-structure of life for youths;

Respect for human rights as enshrined in the Last Address of the Holy

Prophet Muhammad (SAW); as adopted in the Universal Declaration of Human

Rights 1948; and as in the Fundamental Rights endorsed by the Constitution of

Pakistan 1973.

The main principles of the FATA Youth Policy are given below:

Transparency: Institutions and organizations involved in youth empowerment

would operate in a transparent and accountable manner. A system and mechanism

involving youth in the accountability process will be developed.

Participation and inclusion: Service providers would design policies, strategies

and programs for and with young persons' by sharing information, creating

10 <http://punjabyouthpolicy.pk/>


FATA SECRETARIAT 22

opportunities and involving them in decision-making as active participants in their

own development. The young generation should own the outcomes of the development

process and should view human rights as the fundamental basis for human

development. They would be treated as equal partners in development programs. Their

input will be given great value during the designing stages of major developmental

initiatives. The youth will also have the chance to suggest new and more culturally

appropriate development ideas.

Social cohesion: Youth empowerment interventions would promote inclusion of

young persons' as a significant part of societal structures, by involving them in

democratic and nation-building activities. For this purpose, different youth groups and

organizations will be developed and encouraged to help organize FATA towards

coordinated and focused socio/economic interventions. The universal pre-requisites for

a democratic society, i.e. respect for difference of opinion, freedom of expression,

tolerance and mutual co-existence, will be inculcated in the FATA youth for better

social cohesion.

Social Protection: Various public and private youth development interventions

would be required to promote youth well-being by putting in place measures that seek

to protect and address the needs of the youth and reduce their vulnerability in terms of

their physical and mental health.

Youth-Centric: The promotion of social, economic and political empowerment as

well as the engagement of the youth in the mainstream of society, economy and

governance, will play a key role in the FATA Youth Policy.

Diversity: Youth empowerment interventions would recognize and concede diverse

backgrounds and respect/honor the roles played by different segments of youth

communities, gender, tradition and location i.e. rich, poor, urban, rural, male, female,

etc.

Youth Service and Volunteerism: The FATA Youth Policy greatly values

youth service activities. These activities not only benefit communities, but also boost


FATA SECRETARIAT 23

self-image and develop a sense of patriotism and abilities through learning, services

and volunteerism. This helps build strong characters and in turn, helps in creating a

strong social fiber for a positive future society.

Holistic: The FATA Youth Policy would include all aspects of youth life. It will

cater to their economic, social and political needs so that they may gain the

necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to ensure their smooth transition into

practical life. The holistic approach will help polish them for every aspect of adult life as

active citizens.

Accessibility: The policy aims to provide easy and equal access to resources and

services to; male, female, physically/mentally-challenged persons, religious minorities

and the youth from diverse backgrounds for their integrated and holistic development.

Aims and Objectives of FATA Youth Policy

The FATA Youth Policy aims to provide an enabling environment for youth

development, by informing the public policy domain and facilitating the work of youth-

led and youth-serving agencies. Its specific objectives are to:

Mainstream and prioritize youth on the agenda of public policy of FATA as a

cross-cutting theme;

Promote and support Youth Development Organizations by recognition,

facilitation and stronger networking and coordination;

Define and enforce standards for Youth Development Organizations within its

mandate to ensure quality, transparency and accountability;

Create incentives for the promotion of volunteerism, civic participation, political

engagement and responsible citizenship among the youth;

Identify, promote and network young leaders (male and female) from businesses,

the community, academia, politics and the civil society;

Contribute to economic empowerment of the FATA youth, by facilitating in job

placements, job search and self-employment.


FATA SECRETARIAT 24

Increase investment in relevant skills training, emphasizing training that increases

employability. Forming linkages and also greater collaboration between

employers and training providers;

Promote entrepreneurship among young women and men belonging to FATA via

the provision of accessible information on market opportunities. Linking aspiring

entrepreneurs with the existing FATA Chamber of Commerce, training in

business skills, providing access to capital (credit and other financial services),

mentoring by qualified persons, and other business support services, especially

the use of internet for business promotion and marketing (FATA ICT

Policy,2012);

Help bridge the digital divide gap by promoting the positive use of ICT amongst

FATA SECRETARIAT 26

STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN: GUIDELINES FOR YOUTH

DEVELOPMENT IN FATA

The Strategic Action Plan outlines specific actions, as well as advisory guidelines for

mainstreaming youth in public policy making. These guidelines are non-binding in

nature. However, the FATA Youth policy considers its adoption a progressive step

towards an integrated approach for youth development.

Economic Empowerment

Strategic guidelines:

youth on the available job market;

gender- sensitive interventions as the FATA Youth Policy has the aim to reduce

and ultimately eliminate gender discrimination.


FATA SECRETARIAT 27

Skills Development and Vocational Training:

1) It is proposed to carry out an assessment of the demand/ requirements and the

capacity of the skills development facilities in FATA11. Based on this

assessment, technical and skills development programs will be enhanced. It is

proposed that in addition to the existing government managed infrastructure for

training programs in FATA, CSOs from relevant agency/ FRs should also be

utilized for skills development and technical training, funds for which would be

provided by the government, the private sector and development agencies;

education for the unemployed educated youth with the provision of micro-credits to

help them become self-employed. A, 20 % quota for the educated unemployed

FATA females will be made compulsory;

3) National and international job market analysis would be carried out to identify the

requirements of skills in various target markets and for the youth to be trained in

relevant fields, especially the uneducated working in the Middle-East. Moreover,

support will be extended to the youth seeking jobs and placements locally and

internationally. In this regard, special desks and access points for FATA females

will be provided;

4) Vocational Training Institutes in FATA will update the curriculum in accordance

with current requirements and job-opportunities in the Agriculture/ Industrial and

services sectors and prepare a phased expansion program of such training facilities

in rural/urban areas;

5) Establishment of job banks to promote youth employment; fully activating the

concept of “Employer on-line” and “Job Bank on-line”. Gender specific “Job Melas

6) Specialized institutions for providing training in area-specific and gender-specific

needs will be opened e.g. training of agriculture, livestock, minerals, forestry,

skilled labor, and businesses, alongside the FATA Development Authority will be

marketing of such enterprise products, especially for the female and vulnerable

FATA youth;

8) Initiate a program of certification of informally acquired skills by technicians and

other manual laborers/workers to enable them to acquire suitable jobs and

financing.

Entrepreneurship:

1) For giving FATA youth a chance to succeed at new entrepreneurial ventures, the

policy envisages the creation of a youth venture capital fund to support new

developments and the implementation of new business ideas. The fund for this can

be subscribed by the government, entrepreneurs, corporations, donors, beneficiaries

etc. The eligibility criteria will ensure that every segment of the FATA youth

population gets an equal chance at availing this financial support;

2) The creation of small incubator offices equipped with all office facilities for

young graduates, both male and female, so that they may work in these incubators

to polish up their ideas and implement activities. Such incubators may be set up

in colleges in each agency, respecting gender equity whilst providing these facilities

to the FATA youth;

3) Support and promote Innovation Competitions to attract and fund best business

ideas;

occupations into large enterprises;


FATA SECRETARIAT 29

7) Enhance outreach programs of the Small and Medium Enterprise Development

Agency (SMEDA).

families to training institutions and facilitate those seeking self-employment;

2) Expansion of the micro-finance sector in terms of outlets, products and access by the

young;

3) Create a centralized “Information-System/Data base” on job opportunities for the

youth in public and private sectors and to guide and counsel educated job-seeking

youth from FATA.

4) Encourage all universities to set up offices to assist FATA graduates in job

placements. These offices will also work as career advisors, helping fresh graduates

in opting for better career choices. These offices must have a separate desk for

females.

Education for Youth Development

FATA has no dearth of hard-working and talented young individuals. Given the

opportunity, they can rise to the highest ranks in academic and intellectual pursuits. Many

talented students, however, are restricted because of the lack of financial support,

compromise on merit, limited opportunities, lack of knowledge of opportunities and of

availability or access to books, literature and other academic resources. To promote

young academics to pursue excellence, programs include:

Formal Education Sector:

1) Broaden the definition of educational outcomes beyond literacy;

2) Clarify educational aims and objectives to avoid the disparities resulting from

multiple school systems;

3) Uniform basic and secondary education to promote integration and social cohesion;


FATA SECRETARIAT 30

4) Clarify a set of standards and competencies for students at different educational

levels irrespective of public, private or religious schooling backgrounds;

5) Provide safe/violence free campuses that would attract students instead of creating

fear;

6) Increase the availability of books and research materials and facilities for young

researchers through internet access, libraries, book banks or book loaning

programs;

Exchange and Scholarship Programs:

1) Public-private partnerships to extend the scope and outreach of education;

2) Scholarship programs to include marginalized groups from FATA, i.e. by creating, a

quota system for the inclusion of females, physically challenged and religious

minorities;

3) The inclusion of leadership programs at school, college and university level for

grooming students in extra-curricular activities (non-academic activities), by creating a

quota system for the inclusion of females, physically-challenged individuals and

religious minorities;

4) Enhance the availability of scholarships to carry out studies at higher-secondary, under-

graduate and graduate levels in the country and abroad. Special emphasis will be placed

on scholarships at the higher-secondary and under-graduate level; thus, catering to the

needs of motivated and ambitious young persons in FATA;

5) Starting and augmenting programs for educational loans and “Qarz-e-Hasna” for

students who do not get merit scholarships for studies both within Pakistan and abroad.

These loans can be advanced by the Government/ FATA Secretariat through the ADP

Program, donor agencies and banks;

6) Special funds will be created to facilitate the participation of young students and

professionals in conferences, both within the country and abroad, with a quota system

for the inclusion of females, physically-challenged individuals and religious minorities;

7) In order to prepare FATA students in getting admissions and access to funding for

renowned educational institutions at under-graduate and graduate levels, special gender

specific tutorials and guidance sessions would be arranged at local institutions, mostly


FATA SECRETARIAT 31

8) Women participation and leadership programs will be encouraged;

Non-Formal Education:

citizens;

4) The promotion of peer education on general life skills and, interactive and leadership

skills to benefit the literate and illiterate youth groups.

Youth Health and Sports

Health Awareness and Prevention Program:

1) The over-all aim is to facilitate actions of concerned departments with collaboration of

the civil society and the corporate sectors to ensure the physical, mental, and social

well-being of the youth in FATA. This, should especially include the FATA Youth in

IDP Camps as most of them are more likely to be suffering from psychosocial issues by

being both, conflict affected and restricted to a temporary residence, Female,

physically/mentally-challenged, and religious minorities will be provided a conducive

environment and the opportunity to be part of these health programs and interventions.

2) Awareness and preventive campaigns would be launched against; drug abuse, smoking,

infectious diseases, mal-nutrition, accidental injuries, psychological and mental

illnesses and environmental hazards. Community Youth Health Committees and a

health counseling PTCL help line would also be established for this purpose, inside and

outside of FATA.


FATA SECRETARIAT 32

Sports Facilities and Competitions:

1) Distinguished government officials, such as the Governor KP, CS, ASC FATA,

Political Agents, MNAs, Senators, Maliks (community elders) and, leading icons in

society, as well as corporate leaders and other known personalities to become patrons

of sports organizations in agencies and FRs;

FATA SECRETARIAT 33

provided a conducive environment and opportunities to participate in such events;

i. Re-activation of boys scout and girls guides at school level;

ii. Mentoring of youth on disaster management will be ensured at multiple

educational levels, starting from high school to university level.

Youth Mobility and Group Tourism:

1) Arrange FATA/ national youth conventions, where various cultural and social

competitions are held. Corporations and leading organizations will be invited to set up

stalls to exhibit their products and business practices giving the FATA youth an

opportunity to interact with them and possibly choose future career paths. Female,

physically/mentally-challenged and religious minorities will be provided a conducive

environment and opportunities to participate in such events;

2) Promote FATA/ national integration and harmony amongst the FATA youth from

various walks of life in the country. Participants from all over FATA, from every

segment of the youth group such as female, male, vulnerable and religious minorities

will be invited to come together for organized visits to various areas of Pakistan. These

programs will be based on the selection of youth on merit from various regions of

FATA so that the objective of cross-cultural learning is achieved.

Political Participation and Engagement of Youth

Strategic Guidelines:

1) Democratic and politically empowered youth are the need of the hour. Political

empowerment of the youth would materialize by instilling a sense of ownership and

legitimacy through their involvement in electoral and legislative processes at

different levels of governance;

2) Manifestos of political parties should elaborate their youth development agendas

for FATA, and must be communicated to the FATA youth by the relevant political

party and through media awareness campaigns;

3) Student unions/councils with pro-peace, women-friendly and student-centered


FATA SECRETARIAT 34

politics need to be established at colleges/universities. Such unions should have

a minimum education criterion for their leaders and must be delinked from

mainstream political parties.

Civic Responsibility and Citizenship:

1) Build knowledge of the youth through curricula and mass campaigns on

their civil, political, social and economic rights, so that they can practice good

citizenship;

2) Civics topics should be part of the curricula;

3) Promotion of youth associations on campuses and in communities should be

supported. Female, physically/mentally-challenged and religious minorities will be

provided a conducive environment and opportunities to participate in such events;

4) Engaging the youth in mass campaigns and country-wide crisis/emergencies;

5) Annual awards to be presented to those youth groups that have successfully

implemented projects to promote youth rights. Equal representation of male and

female youth groups will be ensured;

6) Encourage private sector companies to dedicate a substantial part of their

Corporate Social Responsibility Programs to youth development in FATA.

Youth Motivation, Awareness and a ‘Sense of Pride’

It is proposed to reinforce a sense of pride of being Pakistani amongst the youth. It is also

proposed to motivate the youth for the achievement of excellence, to learn from national

and international icons and to be aware of international developments. Female,

physically/mentally-challenged and religious minorities will be provided a conducive

environment and opportunities to participate in such events.

The objective stated above can be achieved in the following ways:

1) Arranging discussions, meetings and conventions on various topics of interest.


FATA SECRETARIAT 35

Preparing documentaries and disseminating information through the media,

educational institutions and other communication channels on the achievements of

our heroes in various walks of lives, the richness of our culture, our famous

monuments and our honored/ proud traits and traditions. These may include stories of

bravery, culture, traditions of society, justice, landmark projects, adventures and our

natural endowments in FATA regions.

2) Arranging national and international visits to see various areas, monuments,

museums, cities of historical importance, world renowned facilities, universities and

encourage participation in national and international events pertaining to heritage and

cultural diversity.

3) Interaction with Pakistani and international corporations, leaders, researchers,

academics, social workers and other icons through visits, meetings, seminars, chat

programs, video conferences other means of mutual exchanges to share ideas and to

expand knowledge and awareness.

Youth Database Development

Despite the existence of a youth bulge, there is too little data available on youth issues

in FATA. Relying on unreliable secondary information will not only create information

dependency but also result in poorly designed initiatives for the betterment of the youth

in general. Hence, it is suggested that a youth data base be established. An updated data

base about FATA youth will help generate accurate figures and the effective planning of

developmental initiatives for the youth.


FATA SECRETARIAT 36
