New Publication: Wave Makers: Pacific Youth Participation

  • 10 September 2025

The report provides an assessment of the youth engagement landscape in the Pacific. Kirsten Anderson conducted research, including interviews and focus groups with young people in eight Pacific Island countries, in order to understand the opportunities for, and barriers to, meaningful youth participation in community and government decision-making. The report maps existing youth networks, platforms and initiatives, and analyses the enabling environments for youth participation.

The full report and a brief are available on the UNICEF website and the report can also be downloaded on the Coram site.
