Title
Youth initiatives: Supporting citizen engagement with government and civic life
Abstract
There is a large volume of literature on youth participation in development, including on the benefits of involving young people in local, national, regional and global governance initiatives. Although not as voluminous, there is also a significant body of work on youth participation in civic life, though much of this focuses on issues of education and employment (Oxfam 2016) as well as health (particularly initiatives related to HIV/ AIDS). It was not possible to identify a large body of literature around more multi-faceted and holistic initiatives (for example, involving different themes and connecting at different levels).
