Youth Council of Nicaragua
The Youth Council of Nicaragua is an initiative created in 1992 on the initiative of various expressions of the organized youth of the country, in order to coordinate and improve relations with each other to achieve an impact on the national agenda with the incorporation of the proposals of adolescence and youth in the political, social and economic agenda of the country. Additionally, it seeks to contribute to the construction of a new political, democratic, proactive, critical and participatory youth culture. The Council has also created Municipal and Regional Councils to promote territorial actions to benefit the population of young people and adolescents. In 2001, the Council and its territorial authorities legally obtained the recognition of a participatory instance in Law 392 to promote the integral development of youth.
