The Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) evaluated the efforts of the Department of Peace Operations, the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, and peacekeeping operations and special political missions in expanding meaningful youth participation in line with the youth, peace and security agenda.
The thematic evaluation found that since the adoption of the youth, peace and security agenda in 2015, progress towards increasing youth participation had been slow owing to limited and inconsistent resources, limited awareness and capacities in respect of the agenda, and the lack of a road map for its implementation. Further, United Nations coordination mechanisms were characterized by a variety of voluntary arrangements that often lacked clear roles and responsibilities.
