•Diagnosis: proper analysis of strengths and weaknesses to guide the design and implementation of reforms
Insufficient qualitative and quantitative knowledge base for the policy relevance and responsiveness
•Need to recognise the importance for the individuals and for the society•Targeting & formulation: tackling information gap and identification of key stakeholders are crucial steps in designing appropriate policies and targeted interventions
Data and policies are disconnected, there is a clear need to systematise efforts to tackle information gaps (collection and consolidation) and use the (new) available information for the purpose policy-making and policy adjustments.
Inefficient communication channels impacts on difficulty to engage with the young people – outreaching as one of the major issues

Systemic Approach: Evidence-based policy making
•Governance: Ensuring effective and efficient public administration and public policies (design, implementation and evaluation) is key in tackling youth challenges
Fragmented system of policy-making and a long distance to implementation.Ineffective implementation and insufficient monitoring and evaluation: slow pace of reforms, need to further
focus on implementation and weak assurance of continuity in terms of policy implementation and mainstreaming tested solutions. Low level of accountability.
Disconnection between the actors, weak interaction and cooperation resulting in inefficiencies. Weak horizontal governance (low institutional cooperation and insufficient involvement of private sector) and vertical (insufficient multilevel links between the central, regional/local and sectoral actors), lack of partnership between public and private actors
•Resources: Efficient and effective use of resources is necessary to face the growing pressure from the young generation
Insufficient resources and inappropriate allocation of resources (not performance-based, lack of efficiency)Lack of transparency and low level of accountability.
