The Guide
Today's generation of young people is the largest in history. Over 3 billion people - nearly half of the world's population - are under the age of 25. It is crucial that we engage the young decision makers of tomorrow in the development decisions of today. We hope that the Youth Participation Guide will contribute to this goal.
