“The Asian-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women (ARROW) together with YPEER Asia Pacific Centre, YouthLead, and other regional organisations has been organizing the APFSD Youth Forum since 2017. We are happy to note over time country level Youth-led and Youth-serving SDG alliances have emerged in Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Mongolia, and Papua New Guinea (PNG).
We congratulate you all on their leadership to take forward the Agenda 2030 on Sustainable Development forward and form country level APFSD alliances.
The meaningful inclusion of young people in Sustainable Development is very critical, given the significant number of young people in all their diversity residing in the Asia and the Pacific region.
You are all the agents of change and in our role, we will do all that we can to ensure young people are at the forefront.”

“Y-PEER Asia Pacific Center together ARROW, Youth LEAD with partners had been involved in APFSD Regional and Natonal Forums contributing to the SDGs inter-governmental dialogues. Young people from Mongolia had always played a key role in shaping the national and regional dialogues related to SDGs, ICPD, CEDAW and more.
From Y-PEER Aisa Pacific Center, we would like to congratulate Y-PEER PNG to establish the National Youth Alliance on SDGs which will provide platform for young people to learn, promote and discuss related to SDGs.”
