Mission and objectives

On the ground in 170 countries and territories, UNDP works with national partners to eradicate poverty, protect the planet and achieve the sustainable development goals. UNDP connects countries to knowledge, experiences and resources to help people build a better life. UNDP’s office in Trinidad and Tobago (UNDP TT) is a multi-country office, with responsibilities for Aruba, Curacao and Sint Maarten as well.

Context

UNDP Trinidad and Tobago is developing a comprehensive Youth Engagement Guidelines Report aimed at supporting institutions, civil society, and stakeholders in meaningfully engaging young people in development processes. The report consolidates insights, best practices, and recommendations drawn from extensive consultations and research. The document is approximately 120/140 pages and is intended to be a public-facing, visually engaging product that can be widely shared across national, regional, and international audiences. The design will play a key role in ensuring accessibility, clarity, and impact, translating technical content into a compelling and user-friendly format.
