The Value for Money and Policy Review of youth programmes has recently been finalised. It has been submitted to the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs. The review has also been submitted to Government for information. The review makes recommendations for the future operations of youth programmes that will shape their development in the years ahead to ensure quality, effective, value-for-money services that are evidenced based and secure the best outcomes for young people.

The findings and recommendations in the review are being considered by the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs at present. The Minister intends that the recommendations of the review will be progressed in the context of the new National Youth Strategy that is being developed by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs for the end of 2014.

The Department is developing a plan to ensure that all interests including youth projects and organisations, Education Training Boards, Youth Officers and other stakeholders that are involved in the provision of services for young people, have the opportunity to discuss the review's findings and recommendations and how they are to be implemented in the coming years.

Arrangements are being made for the publication of the review at an early date.
