We will bring together high-level decision makers, youth leaders and advocates, development practitioners, and other stakeholders to recognize the contribution of youth engagement in shaping the post-2015 agenda and demonstrate and discuss the role of youth in the implementation, monitoring and accountability of the SDGs.
