Policy oriented assessment on the youth, peace and security agenda in Ethiopia
November 12, 2025
The Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) agenda has gained greater emphasis than ever before in the light of the challenges facing the youth along socioeconomic and political dimensions and the need to involve the youth in peacebuilding by ensuring their participation in decision-making at all levels of governance. The United Nations has developed a framework, UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR) (2250, 2419 and 2535), to be recognized, adopted and to guide the development and implementation of the YPS agenda by members states through perfecting their context specific National Action Plan (NAP). The African Union has also endorsed the Continental Framework for YPS and set a timeframe (during the 10th anniversary of its adoption or mid-term review of the adoption and implementation of UNSCR2250 in 2025) for its member states to identify the YPS agenda and develop the NAP based on the country’s context.
