Introduction:

The Youth General Assembly’s “Shadow Cabinet” project, launched in 2018, simulates the functioning of a government cabinet, allowing youth to take on ministerial roles, debate policies, and propose solutions to pressing national issues. This youth-led initiative empowers young leaders to engage in the administrative and political processes, ensuring their voices are heard in shaping the future of Pakistan.

Vision:

 To equip youth with hands-on experience in governance by simulating real-world political roles. This project envisions youth as future leaders actively engaged in national governance and policy- making.

Belief:

 We believe that by experiencing governance through a structured simulation, youth can better understand policy-making and governance. This will inspire them to engage more actively in political and civic processes.
