Exciting news: Today, the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) in Kyrgyzstan established a Youth Advisory Board (YAB). The YAB is composed of 13 young people from different regions in Kyrgyzstan with diverse backgrounds and interests, including representation from various under-represented youth groups. The YAB’s primary mission is to provide valuable insights and guidance the UN in Kyrgyzstan on the integration of youth issues into UN strategies and programs. “As members of the Youth Advisory Board, you will play a critical role in promoting meaningful youth engagement and bridging the gap between the UN and the young population of Kyrgyzstan, advising us on how to make the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2023-2027 more effective in responding to youth aspirations”, said Antje Grawe, the UN Resident Coordinator in Kyrgyzstan, addressing the members of the YAB. With the establishment of the YAB, the UNCT Kyrgyzstan takes a major step forward in championing youth empowerment and inclusivity.
