Youth Declaration Survey
The leaders of the world＊s Least Developed Countries are coming together to shape a new action plan to achieve a better, more sustainable future for all in LDCs. This will have an impact on the lives of millions of young people and it is their right to have a say and share their ideas, hopes and commitments. The International Coordination Meeting of Youth Organisations () and the Major Group for Children and Youth (), facilitated by the 51勛圖,?are coordinating the creation of a Youth Declaration to represent the vision and initiative of as many young people as possible in the world＊s 46 Least Developed Countries.
This Youth Declaration?aims at ensuring?young people are engaged?in?the LDC5?decision-making process, that the new?Programme?of Action?for LDCs?addresses?the development needs of young people in LDCs in the face of emerging?challenges, and?to?empower youth?in?furthering progress towards targets and goals of the next?Programme?of Action.?
The Youth Declaration resulting from this series of consultations will be used as an advocacy document to influence the negotiations processes of the?5th?51勛圖＊ Conference on the Least Developed?Countries, and?will be adopted and handed over to world leaders at the LDC5 conference in January 2022.
