Plan of Action for 2008

Plan Of Action for 2008.

Clearly, there is a general acknowledgement at least from the Chair that UBPA is weak with basic units of our leadership unable to confront challenges that our youth and society is facing. It is therefore significant that our plan of action is structured in a way that begins to address this unfortunate reality. The association collectively has many struggles to fight on behalf of our youth, and the capacity we have to successfully combat these struggles is vast and immense.

Objectives:

Ø We need to improve the organisational capacity of UBPA,
Ø We need to make UBPA relevant to all the youth and society;
Ø We need to broaden our social base and community outreach;
Ø We need to work towards addressing youth issues;
Ø We need to seek and receive active participation of all organisation members
Ø In short, this plan of action is calling upon us to be heard, to be seen, to be noted, to be engaged and to be cutting edge drivers of change, growth and development in all spheres possible.

The following factors are indispensable for a successful implementation of the 2008 plan of action.

• We need members’ active and rigorous participation and involvement in all organisational activities.




• We need members to use their skills, knowledge, expertise and energy in the programmes and plans of the organisation.




• We need a sustainable development of members’ skills and understanding of many issues that are above and beyond textbooks and lecture notes.




• We need a continuous collective leadership by those elected to be leaders.




• We need a collective of members to head a policy unit responsible for developing all our policies and also exercise a proper oversight on all our activities.
