Terms of Reference United Nations Jamaica Youth Advisory Group
The YAG marks a significant step in the organization’s efforts to amplify youth leadership and engagement in sustainable development processes and programmes. This initiative aligns with the global UN Youth Strategy, Youth2030, which emphasizes the importance of meaningful youth participation in all areas of the UN's work.
The establishment of the YAG is a key component of UN Jamaica's comprehensive Youth Engagement Action Plan (YEAP). This plan, designed to bolster youth involvement across all pillars of the UN's work in Jamaica, is closely aligned with the timeline of the United Nations' current Cooperation Framework.
The Youth Advisory Group aims to provide young leaders in Jamaica with another platform to play an active and leading role in the country's sustainable development, working in close collaboration with the UN.
