Youth Next Level: a definition for stakeholders supporting youth leadership in the HIV response

A participatory process was convened that engaged over 100 young people in all regions to support the development of the definition. A survey, along with consultations in English, Russian and Spanish, ensured young people in all their diversity had the opportunity to feed into the process and have their say on what youth-led responses are. It was also identified in the process that for a definition of “youth-led responses” to be effective, there would need to be a definition of “youth-led organizations”, which was developed concurrently.
