What is the International Alliance of Grassroots Youth Organisations (IAGYO)?

It provides a dedicated universal space to coordinate and facilitate meaningful engagement of formal and informal grassroots/local level youth structures to engage in processes and avenues across the pillars and organs of the UN through existing modalities. LEARN MORE

How Was this Initiated?

The effort draws on provisions in several UN resolutions and documents, primarily Agenda 21, Johannesburg Plan of Implementation, UNGA Resolution 66/288, UNGA Resolution 66/288 (Rio+20 Outcome – The Future We Want), UNGA Resolution 67/290 (High Level Political Forum), UNGA Resolution 70/1 (Agenda 2030) and the inter-governmentally agreed political declaration of the 2019 HLPF- A/HLPF/2019/L.1.

It also seeks to create designated spaces for different types of youth entities/organisations by scope of work (grassroots/local. national, regional and international) in the coordination structures of the UN MGCY and seeks to continue to enhance the diversity of 'types of entities/organisations' that engage in the work of the UN MGCY.
