Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetMeta-synthesis of lessons learned from youth evaluations (2015-2020) to support the implementation of the United Nations Youth Strategy
What works to amplify the rights and voices of youth?
2021Marking Human Rights Day on 10 December 2021, a new report provides validated lessons and solutions to strengthen United Nations youth programmes, particularly around youth participation and youth and human rights. The report, ‘What works to amplify the rights and voices of youth?’ facilitates a deeper understanding of how to enable key actors, step up accountability for and with youth, engage youth in multiple capacities, and strengthen representation and inclusion of youth in programmes. The lessons were distilled from 150+ youth evaluations and contribute to increasing accountability for results within the United Nations system. This interagency knowledge collaboration was co-led by the Evaluation Offices of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) along with EvalYouth Global Network, Office of the Secretary-General's Envoy on Youth and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Agency (DPPA), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). -
