A Review of Youth Political Participation Programmes in Asia-Pacific Region

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Bangkok Regional Hub (BRH) mapped a total of 157 programmes and initiatives, having Youth Political Participation (YPP) elements integrated or mainstreamed in them and implemented in the region primarily within the past seven years (from 2017 to 2023). The analysis and findings from this mapping are presented in this report. The insights derived from this mapping aim to guide the strategic vision and advocacy of the UNDP in advancing Youth Political Participation in the Asia-Pacific region. Although the primary focus is on recommendations for UNDP, these insights may also hold relevance for United Nations Country Teams (UNCTs) and other development partners.
