The confluence of rising inequality, debt crises, and the escalating climate emergency demands that Public Development Banks (PDBs) demonstrate genuine leadership in driving just, sustainable development. At this critical juncture, PDBs must move beyond rhetoric and commit to concrete, transformative actions, placing human rights, community leadership, and environmental sustainability at the core of all financing decisions. Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) call on PDBs to embrace this responsibility and champion a new era of development finance.
Joint Position Statement On Non-Formal Education | Education And Learning Dimensions Of Young People’s Lives.

Without proper recognition, its benefits for young people and communities are not reaching their full potential.
