440 interested youth in Anabta, Tulkarem Governorate, are diligently prepared for the new round of Anabta Youth Local Council (YLC) elections today, Dec 27, 2012. The 13 youth who meet the qualification criteria to serve as a General Assembly will be democratically elected to form the local youth council. This initiative funded by USAID, and implemented by CHF International under the LGI Program aims to establish YLCs to mirror the local council in its formation, composition, functions, and role to sensitize and enhance Palestinian youth understanding of local governance functions, and good democratic governance practices.
