The IASC Youth Guidelines aim to mobilize commitment and action with and for young people in humanitarian and protracted contexts. It also calls for investment in programmes that support young people to develop and reach their full potential and be advocates of their own rights as agents of change across sectors, and across all phases of the humanitarian programme cycle. The document also contains many useful resources, tools, and country examples on working with and for adolescents and youth in humanitarian, protracted, and peacebuilding contexts.
