NATIONAL YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PLAN (NYDP) 1994-1998
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
I.
The role of the youth in nation-building is embodied in the Philippine Constitution, which provides that the State “shall inculcate in the youth patriotism and nationalism, and encourage their involvement in public and civic affairs.” Moreover, Article 1, Section 13 aims to promote and protect their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual and social well-being.
While several youth serving agencies prove to be effective in addressing the needs of the youth sector, there is still a need to develop a scheme that shall serve as overall framework for all programs and projects aimed at improving the welfare and development of the youth, not only as beneficiaries of said programs and projects but also as contributors to national development.
II.
The objectives of the NYDP 1994-1998 are three-fold, namely: 1) to maximize the youth’s vital role in society and their active participation in nation building; 2) to promote and protect the physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual and social well-being of the youth through the conscious exercise of their rights and duties; and 3) to instill and encourage the youth’s patriotism and nationalism.
