UN Youth Advisory Panel Launched
The United Nations Youth Advisory Panel officially launched on 7th April, is part of the wider UN-wide Action Plan on Youth to establish direct linkages between youth and the UN Country Team.
It was followed by a three-day orientation programme in Colombo.
UNYAP brings together a group of fifteen Sri Lankan youth with a passion for myriad aspects of development work.
The panel, chosen after a competitive process, will come together with the UN family in Sri Lanka to support and advise the UNCT in its work through the perspective and experiences of youth.
