Young women and men, particularly those who are living in developing countries, face challenges in areas related to limited access to training and education, employment opportunities and healthcare. UNESCO Jakarta Youth programme intends to contribute to the empowerment of youth. Based on a holistic understanding of youth civic engagement and a firm believe on the potential of youth as a motor for
social change, our programme aims to bridge the gap between the formal institutions and young women and man, including vulnerable, disadvantage and marginalized groups. This programme actively engages with youth and encourages them to actively contribute to their own future by supporting youth organisations at regional level, building skills for youth civic engagement and supporting youth-led initiatives to promote social inclusion and civic participation.
