The Youth Development Forum (YDF) is a flagship annual standing event that takes place on the sideline of the IsDBG Annual Meeting. This year’s YDF is made up of two parts. The first part brings together influential thinkers, policymakers, international development policy experts, and most importantly youth delegates to address, discuss and debate critical issues of relevance to meaningful youth engagement.

The second part of the YDF will be dedicated to highlighting the importance of partnership by launching the IsDB-UNDP Joint Knowledge Products “State of the Ecosystem for Youth Entrepreneurship and Youth-led MSMEs in Bangladesh and Indonesia”.
