Moving the Needle is a compilation of existing literature on youth leadership-focused approaches and explores some examples and learnings from organisations that have developed a stronger case for mainstreaming youth protagonism. 10to19 and EMpower are committed to building knowledge, resources, and momentum to move the ecosystem closer to achieving true youth leadership. This report is an effort in that direction.
