Deadline: 8-Aug-20
UNFPA and the Royal Health Awareness Society (RHAS) in collaboration with Y-PEER Network are launching a call for articles from young people on: “How do you envision the engagement of young people in Jordan to advance reproductive health and healthy lifestyles to become a reality for all?”
The International Youth Day (IYD) 2020 will be celebrated to shed light on the need to enable the engagement of youth by making local, national, and global institutions more inclusive for the purpose of strengthening their capacity (and relevance) to achieve global action. In particular, IYD 2020 seeks to highlight the ways in which the engagement of young people at the local, national and global levels is enriching national and multilateral institutions and processes, as well as draw lessons on how their representation and engagement in formal institutional politics can be significantly enhanced.
This year, IYD seeks to put the spotlight on youth engagement through the following three interconnected streams:
- Engagement at the local/community level;
- Engagement at the national level (formulation of laws, policies, and their implementation) and;
- Engagement at the global level.
Who Can Apply?
- Young people between the ages of 15 -30 years old are living in Jordan.

Interested youth can submit a 1-page article in the language of their choice (Arabic or English). The article should not exceed one page with the below specifications:
- Font size: 12
- Spacing: 1.5
- Font type: Times New Roman
