The IFRC produces regularly a Global Report about Youth Engagement based on findings from a study whose main objective is to map the implementation of commitments in the field of youth engagement, such as stipulated in the International Federation Youth Engagement Strategy (2013) and the International Federation Youth Policy (2017).

The information of  this 4th edition,  which corresponds  to the year 2021, was compiled during the month of March and was completed by colleagues from 153 National Societies. The main findings will be presented at the GA 2022 General Assembly.

This site presents the main results, the elements will be pastel graphs, tables, maps and interactive sections that will allow to have a global image of the participation of young people within each National Society of the Red Cross and Red Crescent.
