CIFAL Philippines- Youth commitment to action and multi stakeholder partnerships (CAMP) for sustainable development
People
Background
Successful implementation of the global sustainable development agenda requires participation of all sectors. The youth is a crucial group that needs to be involved. 7.6 Billion people in the world are below the age of 30. This includes the nearly 20 million Filipinos between the age of 15 and 24. Many of these youths will be occupying positions of leadership in both the public and private sectors. There is a great imperative to arm young leaders with knowledge and skills to contribute to sustainable development.Â
As part of UP-CIFAL Philippines’ mandate to localize and mainstream Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) among the youth, the Center has initiated the Youth Commitment to Action and Multi-stakeholder Partnerships (CAMP) for Sustainable Development for the year 2018. This Youth CAMP aims to increase awareness and deepen understanding of the youth on SDGs, so they can develop their own advocacies or projects.
Event Objectives
This project aims to increase the knowledge of the youth in sustainable development and related issues and capture their interest in advocating for the Global Goals. It also intends to upgrade the skills of participants in project conceptualization and management, especially on issues regarding the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
