In December 2015, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2250 and urged member states to increase the representation of youth in decision-making.2 The following month the UN Secretary-General presented his Plan of Action (PoA) to Prevent Violent Extremism and called for a comprehensive approach to systematically address the underlying conditions that individuals to join violent extremism groups.3 This presented policymakers with the challenge of implementing these documents internationally with a nuanced understanding of the state of local PVE and CVE contexts. Over the last several months, YouthCAN has made a concerted effort to reach out to young activists and garner important feedback regarding the UN PoA and Resolution 2250 in relation to specific national and regional contexts. The YouthCAN UN PVE Survey was distributed to young activists between April – June 2016 and contained 25 questions addressing key elements of the UN PoA and Resolution 2250. The survey was distributed online to the YouthCAN network, as well as a range of international youth networks. Through deploying this survey and collating the results, YouthCAN has been able to represent the thoughts, opinions and concerns of 100+ young activists who are actively engaged in peacebuilding, PVE and CVE in different parts of the world. This report provides valuable insights of young activists to policymakers regarding local and national conditions for implementing the PoA and Resolution 2250. The YouthCAN UN PVE Survey specifically addressed key elements of the UN PoA and Resolution 2250, and asked young activists for their insights into three primary themes, including: • Local contexts and drivers of extremism • Methods for engaging communities and empowering youth • Strategies for the communication and integration of the UN PoA and Resolution 2250 The findings of the survey are presented in the following report in order to bridge the gap between international policymakers and the expressed needs and concerns of young PVE activists.
