    The project “Community level legal education and support to help rural women secure and exercise land and resource rights, and address HIV-AIDS related tenure insecurity - GCP/MOZ/086/NOR”, hereinafter abbreviated as GCP/086, is the most recent of a series of FAO initiatives implemented, to a large extent, in partnership with the Juridical and Judicial Training Centre (CFJJ) of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Mozambique as well as in partnership with a number of National NGOs. GCP/086 started in March 2010. In August 2012, a Mid Term Evaluation (MTE) of GCP/086 was carried out, managed by FAO Office of Evaluation (OED) and the Management Response (MR) was finalised in September 2012. In early 2013, considering the proximity of the MTE to the final evaluation and overlap of report deadlines as well as the limited financial resources available, instead of a final evaluation, the FAO and the donor agreed on a validation exercise of the Terminal Report (TR). The validation, carr ied on by an Independent Expert, took place in March 2014, upon completion and clearance of the GCP/086 Terminal Report, and included a mission to Mozambique.

    An account of the workshop which convened from 26 to 27 January 2005 in Vientiane, Lao People's Democratic Republic and brought together 61 rural youth from 18 provinces in the country to discuss the needs, constraints and challenges confronting young people. Youth make up a large proportion of populations in Asia and the Pacific region, many of whom live in poor, rural areas and lack adequate education and training and/or or are unemployed – conditions that make them vulnerable to exploitation in unsafe and unfair occupations with negative consequences (such as prostitution, HIV/AIDS and drug abuse). In the Lao People's Democratic Republic, 36 percent of the youth aged 10 to 25 have never attended school. Only 17 percent complete upper secondary school. Although working in agricultural fields is a daily duty for most rural youth, many consider themselves unemployed owing to the irregular and seasonal income from their endeavours. A large number move to urban areas where boys usually find employment in the construction industry while girls work in the garment industry, restaurants and entertainment localities where they may become involved in the sex industry. The report includes summaries of the group discussions and presentations as well as recommendations for improving the prospects of rural youth in the Lao People's Democratic Republic.
