Young, Engaged, Empowered: Driving Decisions Together!
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) established the Youth Advisory Panel (YAP) as a vital mechanism to ensure the voices of young people are recognized in advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), gender equality, and youth development in South Africa.

This comprehensive report, "Young, engaged, empowered: Driving decisions together: A Review of the UNFPA Youth Advisory Panel in South Africa," reflects on the 2021-2025 YAP programme. The review found that the YAP programme has demonstrably empowered young leaders and advocates, with 100% of respondents agreeing it has had a considerable impact on their personal development.
