About the Organisation

MYCP operates as a self-organised international platform that enables children and young people — particularly those on the move — to meaningfully participate in intergovernmental policy processes connected to migration and youth rights.

Since its establishment in 2018, the platform has collaborated closely with United Nations partners and global stakeholders to elevate youth participation in key migration dialogues, including contributions linked to the Global Compact for Migration and the Global Forum on Migration and Development.

Through consultations, advocacy initiatives, and partnerships, MYCP continues to support inclusive migration governance shaped by youth leadership.
