TAKE ACTION
Synthesized by a team of young researchers using direct evidence from our frontline consultations, this Manifesto provides a clear, uncompromising roadmap for shifting power and resources in the Humanitarian Architecture.
- Mandate Inclusion: Guarantee formally reserved seats for young people in key coordination spaces and ensure shared decision-making.
- Sustainably Fund: Create accessible, youth-friendly funding with quotas in pooled funds and multi-year support for youth-led organizations.
- Share Power: Mandate the co-leadership of young people across the full arc of humanitarian action, from design to implementation.
- Build Capacity: Ensure young people have the skills, tools, and mentorship structures to engage meaningfully.
- Ensure Accountability: Enforce the collection of disaggregated data and transparency in the reset process.
