After an internal election process that involved more than 50 applications, we are pleased to share with you that we finally have the new Global Focal Points (GFPs) for the Global Youth Caucus on Decent Work and Sustainable Economies (working on SDG8 and related topics). As GFP, they coordinate engagement on various fora related to ILO's work such as engagement in their council meetings, the global youth employment forum, engagement with DJY (Decent Jobs on Youth Initiative etc.) and other foras on decent work and sustainable economies.

Their details are listed below. Notably, Sophia, one of the new GFPs, was involved in the work during 2018-2019 as a Regional Focal Point, making her well acquainted with the historical context of the constituency. Moreover, Mahlet and Migadde bring their robust advocacy and hands-on experience working directly with communities on frontline of economic inequalities.

Te GFPs are reachable through the group ID: decentworkgfp@unmgcy.org

Global Focal Points:

• Women Economic Empowerment Africa Youth Organisation - Mahlet Zeleke (Ethiopia)

• Yange Africa- Migadde Valentino (Uganda)

• Canadian Federation of Engineering Students - Sophia Fei Ya Chen (Canada)
