MEYI collaborates with PBS NOW documentary on Jordan, Navtej Dhillon interviewed
The Middle East Youth Initiative collaborates with the Public Broadcasting System’s (PBS) on a NOW program: "Jobs for Jordan."
In a special online supplement, NOW interviews Navtej Dhillon, Brookings Fellow and Director of the Middle East Youth Initiative, on the challenges facing youth across the Middle East – including unemployment and the "marriage crisis" – and the role of the international community in contributing to reform and development in the region.
"The U.S. can do a lot because it has one of the best records of harnessing youth energy. By providing greater foreign assistance as well as actively supporting more partnerships between U.S. and Middle Eastern education institutions and civil society organizations, we can make a real contribution to ongoing reforms in the region."
