“Young people are the world’s greatest untapped resource.”<\/span>
– UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>

The largest generation of adolescents and youth in human history (1.8 billion) demands more attention and action. Adolescents and youth face unprecedented social, economic, and cultural changes, as they continue to face challenges to their wellbeing that impede their ability to contribute to their country’s economic and social growth. Without meeting their needs, we will be hard pressed to achieve the goals and targets laid out in the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>
