There is overwhelming evidence that the participation of young people leads to better outcomes for projects, programmes and organisations. This manual will show you how easy it can be to give the young people a voice in an organisation. In the manual you will be introduced to the STOP AIDS NOW! Youth Participation Model (SYP Model). This model can assist organisations in a self-assessment of the inclusion of young people and in highlighting areas for further improvement of youth participation. The model can be used by ALL organisations that work for/with young people (worldwide) and is thus not country-specific, nor AIDS-related.
