The State Strategy for Youth 2024-2032 (hereinafter SSY) comes as a commitment of the Government of the Republic of Kosovo to young Kosovar people to enable them, without exception, to realize their needs, rights, aspirations, as well as their full human potential. Through political measures and planned actions, this Strategy aims to provide Kosovar youth with opportunities and experiences that support their integration into society and support their empowerment as agents of the development of an inclusive and sustainable society.
The State Strategy for Youth 2024-2032 is a strategic document that defines the vision, medium-term goals, priority policy measures, as well as specific actions to improve the well-being and position of young people in society. The strategy reflects the attitudes and priorities of Kosovar youth for the present and the future and represents a key mechanism for the development and coordination of youth policies at the state level. The SSY covers a nine-year period (2023-2032), and is accompanied by three detailed action plans, starting with the first action plan covering the period 2024-2026 and then continuing with the other two action plans covering the periods 2027- 2029 and 2030-2032.
