Engaged and heard! Guidelines on adolescent participation and civic engagement

A practical guide to institutionalize adolescent participation (10–19 years) using Lundy’s space–voice–audience–influence and a five-strategy theory of change.

The guidelines are intended to support the design of meaningful and equitable adolescent participation and civic engagement. They provide information on the "why," "what" and "how-to" of adolescent participation and civic engagement. The main sections include guidance on conceptual understanding, strategies and interventions, organizational commitment and processes, and monitoring and evaluation. The appendices provide sector-specific guidelines for adolescent participation in health, nutrition and HIV, education, child protection, care and justice, disaster risk reduction, climate change and environmental protection, and peacebuilding and humanitarian response.
