<p>DFID supports the principle of providing young people with a genuine say in shaping
a positive future for their countries. This was illustrated most recently at the 2017
Family Planning summit, which had a Youth Panel that helped set the agenda.</p><p>We
are also working directly with 5-18 year olds in the UK through our Development Education
programme, investing in a new generation of Global Britain ambassadors, proud of the
work the UK is doing to tackle global poverty, and better prepared to live and eventually
work in a globalised economy. Through the government’s International Citizen Service
programme DFID has enabled over 25,000 young volunteers from the UK and developing
countries to work on projects tackling poverty in developing countries.</p>
