Meaningful and inclusive youth participation – a planning tool

This planning tool aims to support organisations in their (annual) planning cycle of country programmes. The tool seeks to support the development of inclusive country programmes and can also be used as a reference to strengthen other programmes where meaningful and inclusive youth participation is a strategy. It builds on important learnings on inclusive youth participation and inclusive SRHR advocacy from the Right Here Right Now programme, but also includes learnings from other Rutgers programmes. The tool concentrates on six key elements of the planning cycle:

1. Assessing readiness for inclusive youth participation
2. Conducting a comprehensive context analysis
3. Building the foundations for an equal, inclusive partnership
4. Defining goals and strategies for building inclusive CSOs and country coalitions
5. Defining strategies to increase access to SRHR information and amplify voices of
   marginalized youth in the public debate and in policy and decision making
6. The development of a capacity-exchange plan for inclusive youth participation
