UN Bahrain Holds a Youth Consultation Workshop on the UNSDCF
“Youth are at the core of the United Nations action, globally and in Bahrain, including our work to achieve the SDGs,” said the UN Resident Coordinator.
On 18 April, the United Nations Country Team in Bahrain held a consultation workshop with a number of Bahraini youth, as part of stakeholder consultations for the development of the 2025-2029 United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework for Bahrain.
Participants exchanged views on key challenges and needs related to several development areas in Bahrain, and how best the United Nations can help address them, in a way that ensures that the UN's efforts effectively include everyone and leave no one behind.
“Youth are at the core of the United Nations action, globally and in Bahrain, including our work to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals,” said the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Bahrain, Khaled El Mekwad.
“These youth consultations are a golden opportunity to make your voice heard and acted upon. We will ensure your vision is captured in the new UNSDCF for Bahrain,” he told the participants.
El Mekwad also briefed the participants on the upcoming Summit of the Future, highlighting its importance for future generations.
“We ask you to join forces with us to make the Summit of the Future count, including the Declaration on Future Generations that will be developed.¨
The workshop also included a session on the 2024 Regional High-Level Meeting – Young People’s Learning, Skilling, and Transition to Decent Work to be organized by the Regional Offices of the ILO, UNESCO, UNDP, UNFPA and UNICEF in Tunisia in June 2024.
