This Guide has been produced by Restless Development and the UN Programme on Youth (UNPY). The Guide is a summary of the 2010 publication "Youth Participation in Development – A Guide for Development Agencies and Policy Makers", developed by the UK Department for International Development- Civil Society Organisation (DFID-CSO) Youth Working Group coordinated by Restless Development. The Guide has been developed to assist development partners working with and for youth – including Governments, donor agencies, policy makers, NGOs and civil society – and to increase understanding of the growing importance of, and greater potential for, youth participation in development. The Guide goes beyond the rhetoric of many policy advocacy papers by exploring key issues and approaches and providing practical information and promising case studies to assist donor agencies and policy makers on how to work with youth at the operation level in respect of policy and programming.To read the guide, please visit here This resource seeks to increase the level of meaningful youth participation in programming at an institutional and programmatic level. It is important to recognize that adolescents can be a part of the solution in addressing this gap. Their participation in the assessment, design and implementation of RH programs should be incorporated into relief efforts, as adolescents are creative, energetic and important agents for constructive change within their communities.To learn more about participation, please visit here This Guide focuses on what Governments can do to fulfill the vision enshrined in the World Programme of Action for Youth (WPAY). It acknowledges a need for a new impetus to be given to the design and implementation of youth policies and programmes. Each section of the book briefly examines the concept of each priority area and how it is experienced by youth. It looks at mechanisms and specific policies that may enhance the political, cultural and socio-economic opportunities for youth. The recommendations and ideas contained in the book are inspired by analyses, case studies, lessons learned and good practices documented by a wide range of sources. While some of the recommendations contained in this Guide may be considered “quick wins”, others can only be implemented effectively with long-term commitment and recognition by Governments.
