With the objective to empower the youth by way of establishing aspirations and expectations in the electoral domain, the Citizen's Platform for SDGs, Bangladesh is trying to give shape to a programme
The National Youth Policy of Bangladesh (2017) states that young people between the ages of 18 and 35 are considered to be part of the youth category. According to the population census of 2022, this age group makes up almost 30% of the nation's total population of more than 50 million people.
Citizen’s Platform for SDGs, Bangladesh will be focusing on forwarding the youth agendas to the political parties and urge to reflect the demands of the youth in the manifestos to be prepared for the upcoming national election of Bangladesh.
In the 15 years’ time frame of implementing Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), the youth of today will still remain fledgling but with better skills, insight, and aspiration. The youths are the major beneficiaries and key stakeholders of the Agenda 2030.
The Citizen’s Platform for SDGs, Bangladesh is going to organise a day-long Conference titled Youth Conference 2018: Bangladesh and Agenda 2030 - Aspirations of the Youth on 14 October 2018 in Dhaka.
