Young people push policymakers for action at world's largest forum for adolescents

The world’s largest online meeting of adolescents and young people, the Global Forum for Adolescents, closed today with a sweeping set of new commitments from
governments and other stakeholders.The Global Forum, 11-12 October 2023, was organized by PMNCH – the world’s largest alliance for women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health – to galvanize attention to the needs and priorities of adolescents and
young people around the world. The Forum closed today with the launch of the “Agenda for Action for Adolescents”, based on the opinions of 1.2 million young people ages 16-24, collected in more than 80 countries through the What Young People Want (WYPW) initiative, the world’s largest survey of young people.According to the World Health Organization, more than 1.5 million adolescents and youth died in 2021, averaging 4,500 deaths every day from preventable causes. Leading causes include road traffic accidents and interpersonal violence, while mental
health disorders represent a rising concern for well-being. Many young people struggle to access sexual health and family planning services, risking unplanned pregnancies. Substance use, child marriage, nutritional status (under and over nutrition)
and injuries are other major concerns. The Agenda for Action for Adolescents seeks to highlight the need for far-greater action. It is based on seven main advocacy asks, including more and higher quality education and skills training; more adolescent-friendly health services; greater support
for mental well-being; and more prevention of stigma and discrimination, including greater provision of comprehensive sexuality education.“Adolescents and young people have specific health and well-being challenges often overlooked in policy and investment,” said Sahil Tandon of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, co-lead of the drafting team for the Agenda for Action
for Adolescents, and a member of the PMNCH Adolescent and Youth Constituency. "In fact, less than 1.6% of development assistance for health was dedicated to adolescent health between 2003 and 2015, even though there are 1.8 billion people between
10 and 24 in the world today,” said Mr. Tandon. “The Agenda for Action is intended to galvanize attention to where it is needed most, and to align all partners in addressing these needs.” During the Global Forum, 17 governments and two regional bodies highlighted their responses, announcing specific policy and financial commitments. The majority of commitments came from African governments, with nine countries (Botswana, Ethiopia,
Ghana, Liberia, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Republic of Congo and South Africa) setting out plans and investments focused on young people, including specific new financial commitments from Malawi and Liberia.Other governments and regional bodies pledging to improve adolescent health and well-being include Canada, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Portugal, Serbia, Sint Maarten, and the United States, as well as the African Union and the European Commission.

The Global Forum also served as a launching pad for a new health and education strategy developed by the African Union, recognizing the key role that young people play in shaping the economic and social future of the continent. More than 1 billion
(1.46b) people live in Africa, half (735 million) of whom are under the age of 20 (source). More than half of these commitments address the call for more vocational training and secondary/third-level education, mirroring the main priority identified by 1.2m adolescents and youth
worldwide through the What Young People Want effort, launched by PMNCH earlier this year. Other pledges focus on providing affordable, high-quality adolescent health and well-being services and strengthening the agency of adolescents and youth.“Listening to young people helps governments to learn from our experiences and identify new ways to help us,” said Alims Blessing Iripa, 22, a youth activist from Nigeria who mobilized responses for the What Young People Want initiative.
“Investing in young people's health and well-being today will pay off in the future,” she said.The Global Forum for Adolescents attracted more than 8,000 registrants over two days. Participants, including policymakers and young people, shared evidence, lived experience, and proven examples of effective policy and programming solutions. Forum
sessions covered the full spectrum of challenges and opportunities experienced by young people growing up in today’s world, including the need for greater attention to adolescent well-being in schools, combating violence to foster safe spaces,
and creating safety for digital natives. The Forum also saw the launch of advocacy tools, research products, innovation materials and key data to support advocacy for greater investment and commitment.Produced under the umbrella of the “1.8 Billion Young People for Change” campaign, the Global Forum for Adolescents is a key milestone in a multi-year advocacy
drive led by the 1,400 partner-organizations of PMNCH and others. PMNCH has been working with young people over several years, exploring what they most want and need for their well-being, and putting their top concerns in front of decision-makers
with power to ignite change.In addition to governments, many private sector and non-state organizations have also made pledges to Adolescent Well-Being. During the Clinton Global Initiative forum in September 2023, Fondation Botnar of Switzerland pledged USD$45 million to create
safe online environments for young people, enhance civic engagement and make cities safe. Surgo Health, Pivotal Ventures, and MTV Entertainment Studios announced the creation of a Youth Mental Health Tracker. Ferring International pledged to prevent
maternal deaths from postpartum hemorrhage and protect the lives of 20 million women and their families by 2030. Other organizations that made commitments include the Born This Way Foundation, Generation Unlimited, UNICEF, the FIA Foundation,
The Wellbeing Foundation Africa, Goleadoras Foundation, One Earth and Mariwala Health Initiative.“This is the time for political commitment to new policies, more resources and increased funding overall. We need more data to drive those commitments and clear indicators on adolescent well-being to track progress,” said the Rt. Hon.
Helen Clark, former Prime Minister of New Zealand and Board Chair of PMNCH. “All young people everywhere must have a fair chance to contribute to their own countries and to the world and, above all, to pursue their dreams.”Government commitments to adolescents well-beingCountry Commitment prioritiesBotswana Education, including Comprehensive Sexuality Education Gender equality and ending gender-based violence Pedestrian safety Monitoring Adolescent well-being Canada $1.4 billion a year for rights of women and girls $700 million of this for sexual and reproductive health and rights Adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights as a priority Ecuador US$14.8 million for adolescent well-being Strengthen investments in national public health policy for adolescents Ensure access to evidence-informed health services Ethiopia By 2030, Reduce adolescent pregnancy by 50% Reduce HIV/AIDS by 25% Reduce STIs by 20% Ghana Comprehensive education programmes including nutrition, physical activity, sexual and reproductive health Quality and coverage of school health services Monitoring and evaluation of adolescent well-being with more investmentsHonduras Creating a new Secretary of State position in the Offices of Children, Adolescents and Family to facilitate decision making at the highest-level Increasing youth participation in democracy Ensuring young people are heard and respected in economic, political debates and social decisions Liberia US$ 1 million for marginalized youth.

UNGA78 side event: 1.8 Billion Futures: How to Secure the Long-term Health and Well-Being of Adolescents and Young People Worldwide

The long-term health and well-being of adolescents globally can only be achieved if governments and organizations start seeing young people for the unique population they are and addressing their needs accordingly. That means investing in youth-specific interventions but also supporting solutions created by young people themselves, experts, on the sidelines of the United Nations’ General Assembly on 18 September 2022, told a packed room.In New York City, the Clinton Global Initiative together with Fondation Botnar, convened a variety of leaders, advocates, and youth for 1.8 Billion Futures: How to Secure the Long-term Health and Well-Being of Adolescents and Young People Worldwide."The health and well-being of adolescents and youth is critical to achieving broader health equity,” explained Greg Milne, CEO of the Clinton Foundation.Adolescents currently make up a fifth of the population, equating to 1.8 billion people, and if leaders continue to neglect adolescents, the Sustainable Development Goal 3 on good health and wellbeing for all by 2030 won’t be achieved.Various youth representatives told the room of the well-being challenges young people face. They explained how in 2021, over 1.5 million adolescents and young adults (aged 10–24) lost their lives to road traffic injuries, highlighting this issue as one of the biggest causes of death in this age group. Youth leaders also highlighted that mental health disorders typically emerge by the age of 14 and before.Today’s youth are also a generation impacted and troubled by the climate crisis, Rt. Hon. Helen Clark, Former Prime Minister of New Zealand and Board Chair of PMNCH, said in her opening of the event. They have lived through a pandemic, seen technological change, are in an era where there is gender-based violence in the cyber sphere and many are experiencing deepening poverty. This is all impacting young people’s health and well-being and will affect their futures, Clark added.Despite this, less than 1.6% of development assistance for health was dedicated to adolescent health between 2003 and 2015. Clark urged leaders to do better in prioritizing adolescent health and in allocating specific funding for targeted interventions. She also called for the creation of youth-focused indicators to measure progress towards the SDGs and better accountability mechanisms. "We are failing the large majority of young people by not investing in the solutions that are most likely to address their needs," said Jaclyn Schess, a youth activist and founder and CEO of Generation Mental Health, a youth-led nonprofit that aims to build the next generation of leaders in global mental health.But, in the session, Chelsea Clinton, Vice Chair of the Clinton Foundation, announced a variety of tangible commitments several organizations were making in the hopes of improving the health and well-being of young people.Fondation Botnar, for example, pledged $45 million to initiatives that will create safe online environments for young people, enhance civic engagement and make cities safe. Clinton shared how Surgo Health, Pivotal Ventures, and MTV Entertainment Studios’ plan to jointly create a Youth Mental Health Tracker that will capture data to be used in policy advocacy to address the mental health crisis. Ferring International also committed to protecting the lives of 20 million women and their families by 2030 by reducing preventable maternal deaths from postpartum haemorrhage and the Adara Group said it would halve maternal and newborn deaths and stillbirths in low-resource settings. Other organizations that made pledges include the Cotton On Foundation, the Born This Way Foundation, Generation Unlimited, UNICEF, the FIA Foundation, The Wellbeing Foundation Africa, Goleadoras Foundation, One Earth and Mariwala Health Initiative."I'm so thankful to the people on this stage and the many people who work in the organizations that they represent for giving us, yet again, more reasons to be optimistic," Clinton said.Other organizations providing optimism are the many led by young people themselves. "Where you’ll find solutions is on the ground with the young people experiencing these challenges first hand," Schess said. A panel spotlighting the work of young people thus far in addressing their own health challenges in innovative ways, highlighted how young people are oftentimes best placed to create solutions and should always be consulted on issues that affect them."We have new ideas, we have novel ways of thinking," said Gitanjali Rao, a young person, inventor, author, social activist, and stem advocate, who has created Kindly, which uses artificial intelligence to detect cyber bullying.But unless donors and partner organizations step up to support these initiatives, their impact will likely be capped.Rao asked the Fortune 500 business leaders, government officials, leading philanthropists, and nonprofit executives in the room: "Are you bringing them legitimate sources of support that will enable them to take the lead on mental health solutions?"David Imbago, Board Member and Chair of the Youth Constituency of PMNCH, echoed that question and said engagement with youth needs to go beyond simply giving them a seat at the table, but really listening to them and supporting their ideas. "We have a lot to say and a lot of capacity from the passion that fills our advocacy," he said.Imbago shared how the upcoming Global Forum on Adolescents on 11-12 October and the 1.8 billion campaign aim to mobilize more resources so that young people can advance their ideas and have a positive impact in reducing the health challenges of young people today. The event’s overall message, as stated by Rao, was clear: "Believe in youth."
