Background:

The 2030 Agenda recognises children and youth as ‘critical agents of change’ in the SDGs platform and for the ‘creation of a new world’. This recognition must translate into actions that governments and other stakeholders take to implement and monitor the SDGs, including in the selection of national-level indicators and the involvement of young people in monitoring progress. If made a reality, these commitments to listen to and act on young people’s views, including those most likely to experience discrimination and exclusion, will fulfil young people’s rights and ensure that governments develop strategies and plans that build on and learn from young people’s experiences, innovation, and expertise. Young people are entitled to hold the state and its decision makers accountable for their duties and performance.

The Youth Engagement Officer will coordinate UNDP’s youth related activities as well as promote youth engagement across programmes.
