On 26 and 27 May 2015, UNDP co-hosted with Plan International and the Permanent Mission of the Netherlands to the UN and collaboration with the Youth Governance and Accountability Task Team and the UN Inter-Agency Network on Youth Development, a 1.5-day interactive workshop in New York on measuring youth engagement in governance for post-2015.

This paper summarizes the key messages and recommendations from the workshop and will support further consultations and discussions with the Youth Governance and Accountability Task Team and other relevant stakeholders. The key messages and recommendations will inform ongoing efforts by the Inter-Agency Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goal Indicators (IAEG-SDGs), the Praia Group on Governance Statistics, Member States, National Statistics Offices, the United Nations Development Group (UNDG), individual UN agencies and civil society organizations in strengthening relevant targets within the SDG framework, as well as intergovernmental negotiations on means of implementation, follow-­up and review.
