What are the Youth2030 Scorecards?

The Youth2030 Scorecards are tools developed to help measure progress and strengthen accountability in how the UN supports and engages young people. They track how the UN works for and with youth, based on the commitments of Youth2030, the UN Youth Strategy, and the principles of meaningful youth participation.

There are two types of Scorecards — one for UN Country Teams and another for UN Entities — each tailored to the specific roles and responsibilities of different parts of the UN system.

While the Scorecards don’t capture every aspect of Youth2030 implementation, they provide a valuable snapshot of where we stand and where more effort is needed. Insights from the Scorecards help improve planning, coordination and impact.
