Marion Steff (April 2013). Inequalities and the Voices of the Marginalised studySightsavers
This document summarizes a study on inequalities faced by older people and people with disabilities. It discusses how these groups were not included in the Millennium Development Goals and outlines the scale of disabilities and an aging population worldwide. The study aimed to gather voices of marginalized groups in Bangladesh to understand exclusion and identify actions to promote inclusion in a post-2015 framework. Peer researchers with disabilities participated and provided feedback on gaining skills but also difficulties communicating with some groups. The study will inform advocacy for a rights-based post-2015 framework that promotes participation, data disaggregation, monitoring, and universal social protection.
This document is a toolkit for young people who want to influence global governance processes related to the post-2015 development agenda. It provides information on key terms, the history of negotiations so far, and how youth voices can be included. The toolkit explains that the Sustainable Development Goals may include a goal on governance but it does not sufficiently address the need for youth participation. It encourages young advocates to ask their governments to ensure the final goals define a clear role for youth in decision-making. The Accountability and Governance Task Team is a network of young people working to champion youth voices in governance aspects of developing and implementing the SDGs.

Early 2014, five trend watchers teamed up to share their views on the consumer and societal evolutions for 2014 and beyond. In this brand-new consumer trends paper, we gathered 5 paradoxical trends defining the consumer of today and of the future:
1. Learn from Joeri Van den Bergh how global brands such as Heineken and Renault are using serendipity in their advertising.
2. Find out from Steven Van Belleghem how companies benefit from the abundance of useful information to predict consumer behavior.
3. Follow Tom Palmaerts to experience four possible cloaking channels: de-facing, de-sharing, de-leting and the dark web…
4. Discover with Sven Mastbooms how existing business models are under pressure due to the consumers’ urge to take a quicker, easier and cheaper shortcut to the solution.
5. And finally tune in to Herman Konings to find out how consumers are taking control of their own health.
Young people who participated in consultations around the world envision a post-2015 world based on principles of equality, freedom, environmental sustainability, and participation.

Career Guidance and Counselling
Sach Honge Sapne is a UNDP-led digital initiative to disseminate information on soft skills and job readiness as well as sector skills and opportunities. It is aimed at youth with limited access to career guidance and related resources. As UNDP’s primary partner in the initiative, we developed a plan for optimal reach and impact through the campaign. In order to connect with the target audience, HHH in partnership with UNDP produced a series of informative videos featuring career coaches and sector experts. We then followed this up with individual outreach and career counselling sessions with youth who registered online. All in all, this was a large-scale digital effort with results that exceeded the original targets.
Youth from marginalized areas often lack access to career resources and training to boost employability and build 21st century skills. We aim to address this gap through a holistic approach that includes contextual career information, social-emotional learning, skill development for job readiness, and individual career guidance.
An Africa Advocacy Network for People Living with NCDsGreg Paton
The document proposes establishing an Africa Advocacy Network for People Living with NCDs (ANPLN) to give a united voice to grassroots NCD patient groups in Africa. The network would connect existing national NCD patient organizations, allow them to jointly influence global policy, and amplify their advocacy without competing with existing NCD groups. It would start by mapping NCD patient groups in East and South Africa, with a potential launch in early 2013 pending support from stakeholders. The goal is to strengthen global NCD advocacy by incorporating more grassroots patient perspectives currently missing from international debates.
