ANC YOUTH LEAGUE PROGRAMME OF ACTION 2016-2017

“Building A Strong Branch for Economic Freedom in Our Lifetime” "Every Youth League Member an Organiser, A Commissar ....." INTRODUCTION The ANC Youth League is the political youth organization of the ANC. It is established from the constitution of the ANC as the youth organ of the ANC, whose main objective is the mobilisation of youth behind the banner and vision (creation of a non racial, non sexist, democratic and prosperous society) of the African national congress. Since its inception in 1944 the YL has positioned itself as a political home of the South Africa’s youth. It exists as an autonomous structure within the ANC. This means it is able to develop and implement own programmes, convene congresses and run its administration. This is done within the broad policy direction and political leadership of the ANC. Throughout its history the ANC Youth League has always mobilised South Africa’s youth behind the African national congress and its programmes. The branch of the ANC Youth League is a basic and most important unit of the organization as this is where the organisation exists. It is at the point where the organization is in daily contact with the youth and their daily struggles, which the league must lead to resolve them. This simply means the branches that exist, lives and operate with and amongst the youth to resolve their problems and better their conditions. Duties of the branch include the following • Coordinate general activities of the youth league in the area • Work closely with the ANC branch of your area • Look after the funds and property of the youth league in the area • Carry out organisational and publicity work of the YL in furtherance of its policy programmes and decisions. • Be in touch with the political developments in the country and your area • Develop strategic plan for the branch, by analysing our priorities and programmes and plan on how to localise them • Ensure that the YL is on the fore front in tackling problems the confront the youth and the community in general • Develop a strong core of activists in the branch by involving them in the subcommittees and campaigns work of the branch. • Identify stakeholders and work with them to pursue youth interest. • Ensure political awareness amongst the youth in your locality and engage in some social campaigns.
