Report of the Select Committee on Women Children and Persons with Disabilities on the 2008/09 Annual Reports of the National Youth Commission, dated 10 November 2010

The Select Committee on Women Children and Persons with Disabilities, having considered the subject of the Annual Reports 2008/09 of the National Youth Commission, referred to it by the National Council of Provinces on 22 September 2010, reports as follows:

The committee finds that due to the long passage of time that has lapsed between the review period of the report and its tabling, new developments have occurred within the youth sector.

The information contained in the report is relevant, and could be used as a reference document to interrogate the challenges and problems encountered by the National Youth Commission. This would assist the committee in their engagements with the current National Youth Development Agency to analyse the extent to which they would not repeat the problems encountered by their predecessor.

Furthermore, the committee notes that this entity no longer exists and its services have been absorbed into the functions of the National Youth Development Agency.

Report to be considered.
