Six ways young people are helping Asia through the pandemic
Young people have a unique perspective on international development. Here are examples of how they are helping Asia and the Pacific deal with COVID-19.
In Asia, young people are key to achieving national development goals
Skills training, civic engagement and youth forums will help young people become active players in society’s shared efforts to grow and improve.
#Youth4GG campaign to mobilize 1 billion youth to meet SDGs
The campaign will help deliver ADB’s vision of an Asia and the Pacific free of poverty, with improved living conditions, and quality of life for its citizens.
How youth can find their voice through debating
Debating empowers young people, builds oral presentation skills, develops confidence in public speaking, and trains debaters to listen, assess and form arguments. Recognizing this, ADB over the last four years has been supporting youth debates in Asia and the Pacific.
Youth – Asia’s prized asset for change
Around 60% of the world’s youth ―or about 700 million young people― live in Asia and this huge demographic group will ultimately determine the future of our region.
