Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to share the recently developed Southern Youth Zone policy. In 2000, PSO developed the Youth Zone programme to stimulate the involvement of young professionals in capacity building processes in developing countries. As PSO does not have direct contact with partner organizations in the South, the Youth Zone programme can be seen as facilitating framework, both financially and content wise. The programme proved to meet a strongly felt need, both with civil society organizations in the North and the South as well as with the young professionals themselves. They applied for the limited number of vacancies en masse. Over the years the programme has grown to an average of fifty individual placements and another fifty young people involved in short term group exchanges.
