What the forum produced

A joint declaration — and a roadmap handed to the Prime Minister.

More than 600 young men and women from every city in Libya — meeting across the very divides that fragment the country — worked together for days and reached common ground. They agreed a joint declaration and produced a recommendations document on youth involvement in public life, presented directly to the Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity.
