Call for partners: Join the global partnership for youth in the post-2015 development agenda

Do you want to help ensure that youth priorities are reflected in the post-2015 development agenda? Today, the Office of the United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth, in partnership with ITU, UNFPA and UNMC, and with the support of the Inter-Agency Network on Youth Development’s Sub-Working Group on Post-2015,  the Major Group on Children and Youth and the International Coordination Meeting for Youth Organisations, is happy to announce the launch of the Global Partnership on Youth in the Post-2015 Development Agenda.

This partnership brings together UN agencies, international NGOs, youth-led organisations, national youth councils, and youth groups. Building on the five key thematic outcomes of the MyWorld2015 survey, the objective is to offer a platform for thousands of youth and youth-development stakeholders from around the world to identify and formulate what they think should be included in the post-2015 development framework pertaining to youth. Under the five thematic areas Education, Employment and Entrepreneurship, Health, Good Governance, and Peace and Stability, the partnership will work to identify youth priorities, and advocate for these to be reflected in the post-2015 development agenda.

On 17 February, a crowdsourcing platform will be launched to serve as a virtual space for young people to express their priorities – but you can get involved already now: Join this partnership by filling out the registration form, available here, no later than 17 February 2014.
