The implementation of this policy depends on a sound institutional framework and active political, administrative and technical support for the translation of goals, objectives and strategies outlined in the policy into actual programmes at all levels of society. A concerted and coordinated effort is required by Government, non-government and private institutions, churches, youth groups and community organisations to address youth issues in a comprehensive way. This requires an identification and elaboration of the mechanisms for collaboration and coordination to implement a wellresourced and funded youth development agenda. Immediately after the approval of the Policy, a comprehensive National Action Plan for its implementation will be developed with the involvement of key stakeholders. Deliberate efforts will be made to utilize existing structures of Government and civil society to implement the Policy in order to avoid creating additional institutional frameworks, unless they are absolutely necessary. 3
