National Consultation on Adolescents and Youth on Commission on Population and Development (CPD)

Organized by :- Y-PEER Nepal & AYON
Supported By :- UNFPA, Nepal

National Consultation on Adolescents and Youth on Commission on Population and Development (CPD) was held on 4^th April 2012 at Summit Hotel,Kathmandu. It is a one day consultation program targeted to bring together diverse stakeholders including government delegates, youth organizations, INGOs, NGOs,

 Child clubs and young people to map the current situation; identify gaps and challenges; and draw out recommendations on the issues of adolescents and youth in Nepal in light with the Commission on Population and Development (CPD) so as to develop Nepal’s Position Paper for 45th session of the Commission on Population and Development (CPD).

The 45th session of the Commission on Population and Development will be held between April 23rd and 27th 2012. The involvement of young people was particularly more relevant this year’s CPD as the theme for the session is ‘Adolescents and Youth’. The CPD platform was an opportunity to ensure that young peoples’ voices and needs were heard, represented, and addressed; especially around the issues of young peoples’ sexual and reproductive health and rights. It was an opportunity for young people to bring out their concerns and influence decision-makers at national and international level. Furthermore, several youth organizations and partners working on youth SRH issues are not aware on the importance of involvement in the CPD process, and not necessarily the issues, realities and needs of Nepalese youth were discussed in the process.

Y-PEER Nepal also participated in CPD consultation programme. It was a great achievement for all the Youth.
