ARROW, YPEER and YouthLEAD are jointly organizing a Youth Forum prior to the mid-term review of the 6th Asian and Pacific Population Conference (APPC) on 22 – 23 November 2018 in Bangkok Thailand. The forum will be discussing the emerging population and development issues in relation to young people’s special needs and to bring young people’s voices to the forefront of discourses around sustainable development. The key objectives are:

- To identify emerging issues and trends relating to young people’s issues and lives realities in the context of sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda of Sustainable Development
- To develop a young people’s call-to-action to provide input to the mid-term review of the 6th APPC Ministerial Declaration and the global review and evaluation of the ICPD Programme of Action at the 52nd CPD.
