Children participated in each regional consultation, which were all preceded by meetings where they developed inputs and recommendations for the study. Reports for the recommendations made by young people in the regional consultations are available at regional consultations pages.

The International Save the Children Alliance made a special contribution by advising on and facilitating the involvement of children, in particular in the regional consultations, together with UNICEF and other partners. Over twenty children and young people from 19 countries around the world represented children worldwide during the Study launch at the General Assembly. Maria Corazon Buala, from the Philippines, read the message from children participants in this process. Click here to read Children and Young People statement during the Study launch.
