Young people share a restless determination to address the problems that affect them the most. That’s where we come in. 

At Restless Development, we’reproud to be the banner carrier for youth-led development, demonstrating from the grassroots to the global policy levels that young people can and must play a lead role in development. As a result, Restless Development is repeatedly cited as a model of best practice in youth-led development by the World Bank, the UK Department for International Development (DFID), UNICEF, UNAIDS and others. For more information on Restless Development’s youth led mission and work in Nepal, please visit: www.restlessdevelopment.org.

Youth play a direct or indirect role in SDGs both as beneficiaries and change agents – they need to be seen as both programme recipients and partners to achieve it. The role of youth in attaining the SDGs has been repeatedly underscored by the UN on various forums and at different levels – they will be the main drivers for change, including and especially in Nepal, which is currently undergoing a youth bulge. It is imperative that this window of opportunity is not missed to empower and strengthen the capacity of youth, because they will be the group most responsible and with the most potential to lead Nepal into reaping a demographic dividend.
