This publication explains what a Youth Perspective is and why it is essential in all efforts to fight poverty. It gives a deeper understanding of why it is important that we as young people are integrated and become visible as actors in global development. As will be shown, a Youth Perspective means placing young people at the centre of what we do in order to move more rapidly and more effectively towards eliminating poverty and achieving the results agreed on in the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This publication aims at presenting Tackling Poverty Together project as best practice on how to implement a youth perspective. Trough Tackling Poverty Together project 75 youth organisations have worked to create change and increase young people’s role in poverty reduction at a local, national and global level.
