The Dominican Republic UNDP Country Office supports the participation of young Dominicans in public institutions in the country.
Youth Auditors Project, conducted by the Dominican Republic Chamber of Auditors and UNDP, aimed to contribute to capacity building of human resources from a different perspective. Before joining the workplace, 23 youth received training in auditing and law in order to effectively perform their work in the Chamber of Accounts.
These innovative and inexpensive initiatives promote youth inclusion in different work and decision-making spaces; and help to develop their skills and leadership, in order to strengthen democratic culture and transparent management..
Since 2011, with the support of the UNDP Regional Center for Latin America and the Caribbean there have been 2 regional Social Audit workshops (one for Latin America and one for the Caribbean involving 20 UNDP Country Offices) and 5 National replications throughout the region (Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic and Belize). So far 200 young leaders in Latin America and the Caribbean, representing over 80 youth organizations of 20 countries have benefitted from this training, in total.
