230000041 Coordination international Youth Advisory Committee Listening to young people's voices is marked in the BHOS policy note 'Do what we do best' as one of the six approaches for reaching maximum development impact. Meaningful youth participation (MYP) is furthermore one of the key elements in the NL MFA Youth at Heart strategy. To achieve this ambition, a Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) will be established to 'provide a platform to the Ministry to meaningfully involve youth in design and implementation of BHOS policies and programmes' (Outcome). Project outputs: a diverse group of 8-12 international and Dutch YAC members will cooperate with MFA on at least 30 tracks and sprints, with the objective that for at least 75% of the tracks the jointly defined objectives are achieved and that the cooperation is perceived as impactful and meaningful by both MFA policy officers and YAC members. Coaching, communication <(>&<)> logistics are integrated in the project. The Dutch National Youth Council (NJR) will coordinate the 3-year (23-26) YAC project.
