Mini-Research Report on SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals

According to Seren Selvin Korkmaz, a Turkish doctoral researcher at the Stockholm


University Institute for Turkish Studies and alumnus of New Ways, New Processes, a year-
long youth leadership programme offered by Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung. "The rise of populism,
right-wing extremism, xenophobia, inequalities, precarity at work, global warming—these are
problems experienced by millions of young people in different geographies of the world. No
country can solve these systemic problems alone. Instead, we need to build international
solidarity. Youth must nurture international connections in this globalized world on the basis
of solidarity to be able to collaborate and contribute to solving global problems."
In 2019, there are about 1.2 billion youth aged 15 to 24 years in the world, or 16 per
cent of the global population. Around 2065, the world's youth population is projected to reach
its peak, at just under 1.4 billion persons (13%). With somewhere in the range of 87 percent of
these youth living in developing countries where advancement requirements represent the extra
difficulties of restricted access to resources, education, training, employment, and broader
economic development opportunities. Youth don't comprise a homogeneous group, as socio-
economic, demographic, and geographical circumstances differ both inside and between
regions. All things considered, worldwide arrangements are called for as more youth issues
surpass national borders, including confronting poverty, unemployment, under-representation
in decision-making, economic and social inequalities, and insufficient access to resources,
health, education and information and communication technology.
Young people and youth-drove organizations and networks have been preparing, at the
national and regional levels and are starting to lead the pack to address difficulties and create
opportunities for a better future, and to carry these viewpoints to the consideration of the
international community’s advancement plan. The activism of youth in molding their social
orders focuses on the centrality of youth as agents of development, social incorporation,
resistance and harmony. Viable and democratic components for discourse, information
exchange and shared comprehension among young people and with their national governments
and other significant decision-makers, are basic for making and upgrading partnerships that
can all the more successfully address difficulties youth face today.
In reality, the absence of such channels and opportunities for youth participation and
civic commitment can prompt a sensation of disappointment, that when joined with economic
and social exclusion, may bring about the social flimsiness and civil unrest as evidenced by
recent events. The goal of youth to take an interest in the cycles that shape their lives, their
societies and their future is real. It is presently more urgent than any other time before to young
people and youth-led organizations and channel their activism and dynamism in endeavours to
viably partake in the advancement of nearby, local, national, regional and international
development strategies and policies towards accomplishing social integration, full employment
and the annihilation of poverty. Fortified instruments are required for government institutions,
development partners and the private sector to expand rationality and present an organized
response towards the rights and needs of young people, including in humanitarian situations.
There are various steps that youth can do to promote international collaboration and
partnerships. Upgrade measures to fortify global participation among legislative and non-
governmental organizations and different individuals from civil society, with the end goal of
responding to youth yearnings. Increase duty and interest in youth through expanding
acknowledgement of youth advancement as a smart investment by the general population and
private sectors, pushing for the acknowledgement of young peoples’ contributions to national
and community improvement and to accomplishing the SDGs, advancing comprehension of
disparities among youth and how to successfully address the necessities of the most
disadvantaged, and through cultivating research and information building on youth to more
readily educate youth policies and programs. Strengthen trust and construct genuine
partnerships at the international levels through Government, NGO, media, academia, and
private sectors initiatives to cultivate shared regard, resistance and understanding among and
with young people. Mobilize, draw in and increment youth participation and partnerships
through standardizing instruments for youth participation in decision-making processes,
supporting youth-led organizations and activities to upgrade their contribution to society, and
through reinforcing networks and partnerships among Governments, youth-led organizations,
academia, civil society organizations, the private sector, the media and the United Nations
system, to improve duty and commitment for a holistic youth advancement. Connect, build
bridges and increase intercultural understanding among youth through advancing youth
interactions, networks and partnerships across cultures, and through engaging and supporting
youth as agents of social consideration and harmony.
