Co-Facilitating Training Needs Assessment for Youth Parliament Pakistan Members

Shahnawaz Chachar co-facilitated a three-day training needs assessment process for members of the Youth Parliament Pakistan, specifically focusing on representatives from their district youth assemblies. This important project was supported by the British Council and implemented by Cavish Development Foundation in Islamabad. The training needs assessment aimed to systematically identify and analyze the specific training needs of youth parliament members to enable them to perform their roles more effectively. He utilized participatory training methods, including facilitated focus group discussions, individual in-depth interviews, and structured survey questionnaires to gather comprehensive data on the training gaps and priorities of the young parliamentarians. The information gathered from this assessment was then used to develop a targeted and relevant training program that addressed the identified needs, strengthening the capacity of young parliamentarians to effectively represent their constituencies and advocate for youth issues at the national level.
