The Global Consensus Statement on Meaningful Adolescent and Youth Engagement is a joint effort spearheaded by Family Planning 2020 (FP2020), the International Youth Alliance for Family Planning (IYAFP), and the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (PMNCH).
In 2019, the Youth Investment Engagement and Leadership Development (YIELD) Project launched a report, Young People Advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health: Toward a New Normal, that found that making this a reality requires youth participation at every level of decision-making and implementation–such that young people are engaged as partners and leaders in all efforts.
Young people are uniquely positioned to disrupt power dynamics that have contributed to grave challenges throughout the world, such as climate change, poverty, conflict, violence, and persistent gender inequality, including lack of access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Increasingly, key actors in the development community have recognized the importance of meaningful youth engagement in designing, implementing, and evaluating programs and policies that affect them.
