Also, we will be sharing the recommendations integrated through 'Youth Contribution to the Beijing+20 Review Debate', a programme which is being run with the support of The Asia Foundation. Opportunity to interact with: The programme which is being run with the support of The Asia Foundation, aims to collate recommendations from the youth under the twelve critical areas of concern identified by the Beijing Platform for Action.
