The criteria which are considered for candidates are age (Based on Youth National Policy youth is called for the person whose age is between 18 to 37 years), educational degree, work experience and social influence. After selection of the candidates a questionnaire was developed to interview the figures. Among 20 figures, we succeeded to interview only 11 of them. Then, the findings of interview were reviewed and analyzed and included in a specific format. The figures who were in Kabul were interviewed face to face but those who were in provinces were interviewed through telephone and email. Two members of Free & Fair Election Forum of Afghanistan are also introduced in this book. The criteria for FEFA’s members were age, education and working commitments. It is worth mentioning that introduction of young figures is a new proceeding in Afghanistan and will continue in future. Show less

A decade later, we have built a movement of more than 800 powerful alumni from more than 30 countries. Today, the Asia 21 Young Leaders Initiative stands as the Asia-Pacific’s foremost young leaders network.Asia 21 crosses geographic and sectoral boundaries. It convenes young leaders for discussions and collaboration and unleashes them to continue working across boundaries to maximum impact. Local Asia 21 chapters have sprouted in some of the toughest parts of Asia, where people are anxious for the connections and counsel that the Asia 21 network has provided. The result is an incredibly active and vibrant community of young people dedicated to values-based leadership and to changing the world. Not surprisingly, many of the Asia 21 Young Leaders, especially those who joined the network in the earlier years, are today recognized as leading figures in politics, business, arts, media, and the non-profit sector.WHAT MAKES ASIA 21 DIFFERENT?Asia 21 is the only network of young leaders focused on shaping a brighter future for the Asia-Pacific region. We are laying the groundwork for a robust Asia-Pacific community capable of tackling the most vexing challenges facing the region—one leader, one connection, one project at a time. Show less
