The membership of the Global Youth Advisory Panel (YAP) includes 21 young people (ages 15-24) from all geographical regions and various international youth networks and organisations from around the world. Members are invited from all regions in which UNFPA offices work, from international youth organizations and from specific vulnerable youth populations to ensure that their concerns and voices are reflected in the discussions of the panel.
This year, the panel will discuss the role of UNFPA in the upcoming World Youth Conference to be held in Mexico in August 2010, as well as the launch of the youth participation guide and external evaluation of the panel, among other issues determined by the Steering Committee of the GYAP.
