From Click to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development
On the frame for Youth International Day we are proud to present our statement, “From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development.” This statement underscores the pivotal role of youth in driving digital health innovation, particularly in addressing global health challenges such as HIV, TB, and malaria. As digital transformation becomes increasingly central to health policies, the involvement of young leaders is essential to ensure that these initiatives are equitable, inclusive, and effective. Our statement highlights how youth, especially young women, bring fresh perspectives and technological fluency that are crucial for developing solutions tailored to the diverse needs of their communities.
The statement also calls for a more concerted effort to integrate gender equity into digital health strategies, emphasizing the need for youth leadership in this space. By actively engaging young people in the creation and implementation of digital health policies, we can create a more sustainable future where digital tools are designed with everyone in mind. As we celebrate Youth International Day, we urge global leaders and stakeholders to support youth-led initiatives that promote gender equity and foster innovation in digital health, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable world.
