Not just seats at the table but real influence on the agenda

MENA Coalition for YPS creates platforms that connect local youth realities to regional and global decision-making, and they don't stop at "participation." They push for influence, accountability, and follow-through.

Data with a purpose: accountability and better policy

MENA Coalition for YPS helps to generate youth-led insights, research, and learning that make it harder to ignore what's happening in our communities, and clearer what needs to change and remind us with our shared commitment.

Uniting youth for peace

Across countries and sub-regions, MENA Coalition for YPS links youth-led groups, supports collaboration, and builds the skills needed for sustained advocacy, protection-sensitive work, and long-term regional solidarity.

No sustainable peace without youth leadership

Youth-led coalitions are not a side note in peacebuilding; MENA Coalition for YPS is building the infrastructure for the next decade of youth, peace and security in the region. The work is already happening. The question is whether the system will match the pace with real trust, resources, and partnership.
