Five Young Leaders contributed to a United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) consultation on adolescents and youth, hosted by the Office of The Secretary Generals’ Envoy on Youth, Y-PEER, Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (PMNCH), and Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD). The consultation brought together a diverse group of adolescents and youth working across sectors on each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with the aim of developing a common advocacy agenda for political attention to adolescents in the SDGs. Moving forward, this group of advocates and partner organizations will support the call made by member states and civil society to the incoming Secretary General to prioritize adolescents in the SDGs through a mechanism such as a High Level Commission and identify champions among member states, UN agencies, civil society and experts – and mobilize support among partner constituencies.
