Investing and Partnering with Youth for Peace (IPYP)
The Global Coalition for Youth, Peace, and Security Financing Taskforce launched a multi-stakeholder working group to explore the role of the private sector in supporting the youth, peace and security (YPS) agenda. A steering committee for this group was formed in December 2022 and is composed of governments, multilateral bodies, private sector actors, and civil society. The group has the vision to foster a more coordinated ecosystem of actors to help direct private sector funding and financing to address the needs of young people in peacebuilding contexts.
