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 theMyWorld2015 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 10 February 2014.

Mobilize & Advocate
We want to ensure that every voice is heard; young people in rural areas, young women and girls, youth in conflict zones, youth with disabilities, youth with limited access to the Internet, and many more. Use your networks to reach the largest number of young people, ask them to share their input and help build a collective vision for youth in the post-2015 development agenda. Help promote outcomes at grassroots, and with local and regional officials and policy makers.
