This Nepali Adolescents and Youth Charter for the Post 2015 Framework is an official document, accepted by the Government of Nepal. This serves the purpose of providing a strategic framework and direction for our meaningful participation, empowerment and development activities at local, regional and national levels across Nepal in the upcoming development framework that follows the MDGs beyond the year 2015. According to Nepal’s 2011 Census, 6.4 million adolescents aged 10-19, this means we adolescents consist about 24% of the total population, while the youth population aged 15-24 is million or 20% of the total population. We young people had series of district and regional consultations among us, which were held in 16 districts namely Kathmandu, Sunsari, Udayapur, Saptari, Sarlahi, Siraha, Baitadi, Dadeldhura, Rolpa, Kapilvastu, Dang, Morang, Parsa, Nepalgunj, Kailali, and Kaski. Ministry of Youth and Sports (MoYS) coordinated the initiative, with technical and financial support from UNFPA and UNICEF. The process was facilitated by Restless Development Nepal and other Civil Society Organizations, which took into consideration provisions and successes of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Declaration.
