Editor's Notes
These young people’s experience of engagement or of alienation, their inclusion or their marginalization – will determine not only the course of their lives, but also their countries’ broader socio-economic development and the outcomes of the next development agenda’s implementation.
With half of the world under the age of 30, and young people as a growing demographic majority, it is crucial to put young people at the forefront of change and development.
Making their Voice Heard:
