Youth Entity Platforms
In order to provide designated space for different types of youth entities/organisations by scope of work (grassroots/local, national, regional and international) in the coordination structures the UN MGCY has launched different youth entity platforms. This effort seeks to continue to enhance the diversity of 'types of entities/organisations' that engage in the work of the UN MGCY. They engage in all avenues in the UN system through the respective constituencies and engagement modalities. Grassroots/Local Communities is also a formal ‘stakeholder/constituency group’ recognised in the UN, and will also engage as such.
In addition the UN MGCY has also initiated two platforms- 1) for ECOSOC accredited youth organisations and 2) youth mechanisms of UNGA observers in order to provide dedicated space for youth entities as related to their standing in the UN
