The new publication “Growing Together: Youth and the Work of the United Nations” was launched on International Youth Day. The UN Programme on Youth coordinated this inter-agency 
effort which shows how the United Nations system as a whole, supports youth development through a diverse range of programmes and activities. The publication demonstrates that the work of the various parts of the United Nations system is complementary and covers all 15 priority areas of the World Programme of Action for Youth that was adopted by the General Assembly. By taking stock of UN system activities related to youth, the publication also provides a chance to assess how effectively the United Nations system is responding to the youth development challenge. It is intended as a source of information to assist stakeholders and to ensure that the United Nations truly delivers as one in the area of youth.
