• Enhance the capacity of children, young men and women to access or acquire critical services (such as health, education, legal, gender equality, environment, human rights and empowerment) by raising awareness and ownership of critical services, reinforcing civil society support and care for vulnerable children and youth with their families, and developing referral systems, including partnerships with other practitioners.
