We the Peoples 2008: Getting to 2015: Building participation, seeking success
 Download in .pdf [3 MB]
As we head past the midpoint towards 2015, the 2008 edition of the We the Peoples survey reaches out to youth groups as well as organizations working with young people, underlining the critical role of youth in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
It shows that young people around the world are actively engaged in raising awareness about the MDGs and face the challenge with the utmost energy and commitment. The report also shows that we are not taking in consideration these young voices in the consultation and implementation process of the Goals.Young people must be seen as contributors to the MDGs and not just the beneficiaries.
Furthermore, Getting to 2015 provides a clear picture of the progress that has been made and what needs to be done as we look forward towards achieving the MDGs by 2015.
Co-produced by The North-South Insitute (NSI)and the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA).
