The event gathered high-level government officials, policy makers, youth-led organisation and social entrepreneurs from the MENA region and OECD countries to discuss prospects for a more youth-responsive future post-COVID-19. The OECD presented new regional comparative evidence and recommendations from its Youth Reviews of Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia. In interactive sessions, government officials and young people envisaged a post-COVID-19 world, in which policies, programmes and services are more responsive to their needs; young people have an active stake in decisions that affect their future and current governance.
