BACKGROUND:
In light of the transition towards democracy and
decentralisation/privatisation of services within Central and Eastern Europe
(CEE) and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), young women and men
continue to face varying forms of discrimination and exclusion particular to
youth. In particular, young women in the
region have been increasingly and adversely affected by conflict and
post-conflict situations; discriminatory practices within the education and
employment systems; rising drug addiction; rising violence against women;
sexual exploitation, including trafficking; social indifference and
alienation. These challenges are further
exacerbated by a lack of representation of youth and their concerns within
public and policy arenas. In order to
address these issues, it is essential that young women and men within the
CEE/CIS region work together to raise awareness of the specific needs and
priorities of youth among policy makers and society as a whole.
In 2002, UNIFEM launched a region-wide youth
initiative which focuses on creating an effective and sustainable network of
young people working for gender equality in CEE/CIS. Following initial consultations, UNIFEM
distributed a survey among youth in the region to get further insights on their
priorities and interests; the results of the survey were discussed at a meeting
of youth representatives at the Global Forum of the Association for Women in Development
(AWID) in

etc.;
* Selection of a number of creative, innovative

* Distribution of responsibilities and agreement on
the immediate next steps.
TASKS:
Under the direct supervision of UNIFEM's Regional

* Providing substantive input and support to the
preparatory process;

contribute as necessary to the preparatory processes leading to the workshop;
* Facilitating discussions during the 21/2-day
workshop and providing post-workshop assistance and guidance to ensure that
agenda and objectives of workshop as stated above are achieved and the first
steps towards concrete activities are carried through;

understanding and methodology by which productive group dynamics and
