We are in this Together: Operationalizing a Five-Year Strategic Action Plan for Youth-Inclusive Peace Processes

This document presents a strategic action plan to move from youth-inclusive norms towards youth-inclusive practices in designing and implementing peace processes. The strategy is a key output for the High-Level Global Conference on Youth-Inclusive Peace Process on 19-21 January 2022, co-hosted by the Governments of the State of Qatar, Finland, and Colombia, and co-organized with civil society and UN partners. The strategy builds on respective YPS resolutions and the global policy paper, We are Here: An integrated approach to youth-inclusive peace processes, which focused on why youth participation and representation in peace processes are critical for sustaining peace, and the multilayered roles that young people have taken to influence peace negotiations.
