TITLE -Using Art Drawing to Depict the Importance of Safe Water
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development offers increased opportunities to advance youth participation in WASH sustainable development efforts. When coupled with existing efforts to advance youth policy development and implementation, both through targeted youth policies and the mainstreaming of youth issues, the new development landscape offers innumerable opportunities for young people to thrive. However, for these efforts to be successful, much more is needed in terms of political commitment, and targeted interventions in support of youth.
Accordingly, we believe that if we are to make faster progress in the achievement of SDGs, the youth can and should play a greater role. Engaging young people to participate in making productive change can benefit communities and society at large, while at the same time building their resilience and allowing them to exercise positive leadership now and in the future. And it is clear that young people have the potential and willingness to bring about momentous change by translating the SDGs into new sustainable future for all. During our Youth Participation in WASH program, students were asked to use the art to depict the Importance of Safe water and government should act fast.
