Background

The Partners in Population and Development (PPD) is a global Inter-Governmental Organization (IGO) that comprises 27 developing countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. With its representation of more than 60% of the world’s population, covering a major part of the youth population, it possesses a great opportunity to leverage on the current need for youth mobilization through SSTC. In collaboration with UNFPA, the PPD strengthens its mandate by the integration of SRHR in the promotion of youth which is particularly important to expand development programmes in a post-pandemic era. In order to accelerate the achievement of the ICPD goals and the SDGs, the partnership between PPD and UNFPA will launch a unique platform for young people to engage in SSTC, called “The South-South Youth Platform” (SSYP).
