Posted byICMYOPosted inUncategorized

ICMYO has partnered with the Office of the High Representative for LDCs, LLDCs and SIDS that is organising a side event to the ECOSOC YF 2021 on the 6th of April. This session will launch the consultation process to gather inputs from young people and feed the Youth Declaration of LDCs aimed to support the next LDC 10 years Programme of Action which will be adopted in the 5th LDC Conference in January 2022, in Doha (Qatar).


Objectives

The side event aims to provide a platform for youth of LDCs and development partners to share their perspectives on the role of youth in shaping the development agenda of LDCs and address the challenges in harnessing the potential of youth in LDCs in achieving the transformative recovery of LDCs. It also provides an opportunity for young people around the world to share experiences of influencing policy-making and developing innovative solutions to address emerging challenges and to achieve equitable, inclusive and sustainable development.  The results of the discussion will feed directly into a Youth Declaration of LDCs.  The discussion will also support the inter-governmental consultations on the new programme of action of LDCs to be adopted at the Fifth UN Conference on LDCs in January 2022 in Doha, Qatar.
