⭐️Co-created by young people from across the world, the Youth Deliver: 6 Key Priorities sets out demands focused on power sharing, resource mobilisation and sovereignty, trust-based partnerships, intergenerational networks, accountability mechanisms, and sustainable movement building: 1️⃣Embed Youth Power in Systems, Not Symbolism 2️⃣Ensure Resource Sovereignty for Youth and Communities 3️⃣Transform Funding Through Trust-Based Partnerships 4️⃣Build an Intergenerational Ecosystem of Learning and Leadership 5️⃣Create Radical Accountability Systems 6️⃣Centre Care and Justice in Sustainable Movement Building The launch of these priorities marks a definitive call to action. It is a clear demand for institutions to shift how they engage with, resource, and are held accountable to youth leadership, recognising young people not as beneficiaries, but as leaders and experts.

Another power-packed day at #WD2026! ⚡️ From the main stage to intimate fireside chats, we’ve been busy making sure young people are seen as leaders, not just beneficiaries. A few highlights: Emily (UK programmes manager) took the stage with The Global Fund to champion youth leadership. We received a mega shout-out from the Global Fund team, ‘We’ve talked a little about innovation on this panel, and the way restless do advocacy is the definition’ - (we’re still blushing!). Two of our Walking the Talk researchers took over a Gates Foundation panel to talk the future of philanthropy. Special shout-out to Mahima for the her work on the Youth Pre-Conference too! Wrapped up with a deep dive fireside chat into narrative shift and strategic comms with our partners at HIVOS. And of course, we had to squeeze in a quick group pic! 📸
