The aim of this technical note is to highlight the global engagement of youth in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), starting with an overview of the United Nations (UN) outlook on youth and focus to engage youth with SDGs, and moving on to the status of youth in the Arab region, to provide recommendations for increasing youth participation in SDG implementation in Arab countries. The recommendations are directed to youth in the Arab region, civil society organizations as well as governments. The technical note has a special focus on the case of SDG 16 in the Arab region taking into account the UN’s historic emphasis on the strong relationship between peace and development, especially among the young population.
