The event will be supported by UNAIDS and a coalition of youth organizations including Advocates for Youth, the Global Youth Coalition on HIV/AIDS (GYCA), GNP+, the HIV Young Leaders Fund, the International Planned Parenthood Federation-Western Hemisphere Region (IPPF-WHR), the World AIDS Campaign, Youth Coalition for Sexual and Reproductive Rights and Youth R.I.S.E. The objectives of the Summit include: 1. Discussion around the HLM and process and strategizing about how young people can engage in the next 3 days 2. Contextualizing the Outcome Declaration - what do these commitments mean to me - in my country - for my constituency? 3. Mapping possible interventions and approaches to holding governments accountable (considering what is feasible? What is currently in place?) 4. Planning for the short, mid and long term (6 months, 2 years and 5 years) - what are the types of approach that I can use in my organization and when is it most appropriate to use it.
