UN General Assembly and ECOSOC

DESA/DSPD: Growing Together - Youth and the Work of the United Nations

Submitted by admin on Tue, 19/08/2008 - 05:45.

The World Programme of Action for Youth (WPAY) initially identified 10 priority areas to guide policy and action in the area of youth development. Recognizing the major changes that were occurring in national and international development environments at the end of the twentieth century and to align the Programme of Action better to new challenges in the twenty-first century, the General Assembly added five additional priority areas in 2005. These five areas (Globalization, Information and Communication Technology, HIV/AIDS, Armed Conflict and Intergenerational issues) were elaborated in a supplement to the WPAY, which was adopted at the sixty-second session of the General Assembly in 2007.

For each priority area, the WPAY outlines the nature of the challenges young people face and presents proposals for action to improve the well-being of young people. The WPAY also outlines the means of implementation of the Programme of Action.
