| Q: What need does YAL fulfill? |
While historically Arabs were achievers, the Arab youth of today are not as proud of being associated with their Arab culture. They need more motivation to achieve than their predecessors did.
YAL is based on the belief that the success of future development initiatives and the effective integration of the Arab world into the global economy comes from our most important natural resource – the youth.
To ensure their abilities to carry forward, we need to support the youth by providing them the necessary skill sets and knowledge and the confidence to believe in themselves as competitive players in the global economy.
