1.  Title: National Youth Shadow Report: Progress Made on the UNGASS Declaration of Commitment on HIV / AIDS. Democratic Republic of Congo. Author: M'bongo JV Source: New York, New York, Global Youth Action Network, Global Youth Coalition on HIV / AIDS, [2006]. 15 p. Abstract: To ensure that the voices and concerns of young people are included in the monitoring process of the UNGASS DoC in its five year review, young people from around the world reported on the progress made towards achieving the UNGASS targets related to young people in their countries. Their participation is crucial to ensure that resulting policies and programmes take the needs and priorities of young people into consideration, and that young people are involved in their design, implementation and evaluation. To this end, young GYCA members have been selected to be part of their national delegations in Japan, México, Ghana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Zambia, and the Netherlands. GYCA has been lobbying country missions actively to ensure that young people's issues are incorporated into country statements at the high level meetings and into the negotiations on the final outcome document. At the Review meetings, young participants will use their knowledge of their national response to advocate to decision-makers on how best to scale up and improve current efforts.
