This guide offers a practical and replicable pathway for local governments and community actors to co-create and implement local Youth, Peace and Security plans, placing youth as agents of transformation.

It is based on the Security Council's Youth, Peace and Security agenda framework (Resolutions 2250, 2419, 2535, and 2807) and promotes the principle of "nothing for youth without youth," with meaningful participation and accountability mechanisms.

It includes conceptual foundations, regional examples, and a step-by-step methodological process to formulate the plan, with stages ranging from preparation and participatory diagnosis to communication, monitoring, and sustainability.
