Mission and objectivesThe UNDP Youth Empowerment Portfolio in Asia and the Pacific (YEP-AP) aims to invest in and empower young people across the region, to accelerate the implementation of SDGs. YEP-AP believes that youth can be leaders, who create inclusive and equitable societies free of discrimination. They can make a positive difference by taking on the challenges through social innovation, mobilising their peers and communities, and creating adaptive and innovative solutions.
ContextWithin the regional context, the Youth Empowerment Portfolio in Asia and the Pacific (YEP-AP) aims to invest in and empower young people across the region, accelerating the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The portfolio is guided by UNDP’s strategy on youth as transformative agents in addressing development challenges. The YEP-AP adopts an integrated approach, supporting countries in addressing issues at multiple levels, particularly focusing on the intersection of youth with key themes such as climate action, entrepreneurship, and governance through an intersectional lens. The portfolio aims to operationalize the LNOB approach by placing a key focus on empowering marginalized youth, including those belonging to or serving women, LGBTIQ+ communities, people with disabilities, indigenous peoples, and migrants and displaced people. This partnership-material revision aims to enhance the Youth-led Circular Economy Proposal, which further strengthens the contribution of YEP-APs partners to advance SDGs across the Asia-Pacific region.
