Our mission is to bridge children and youth and the UN system in order to ensure that their right to meaningful participation is realised. We do so by engaging children and youth entities in formal and informal forms in the design, implementation, monitoring, follow-up and review of sustainable development policies at all levels in four areas: Policy & Advocacy, Capacity Building, Youth Action and Knowledge.</font></div></div></div></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></span></div><div></div></div></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"></div></div></div></div>
