The primary objective of the Forum was to share, critically discuss and learn from the experience to date of the nine countries in which the Programme operates.  A second objective was for each country to assess the key opportunities for further improvement of their operations and outcomes and provide, on the basis of their experience insights on what should be considered on a potential second phase of the Programme.

The different sessions enabled participants, including youth participating in the Programme to shed light on how key approaches can be taken into different contexts through meaningful adaptations.  Ultimately, the Forum created a platform for each of the Programme´s country hubs to further improve the effectiveness of their operations and exposed others to inspiring experience and outcomes that can be used to improve their own operations.
