About eighty five percent of youths live in
developing countries. It is huge energy to deal
with poverty, universal education, gender
equality, child mortality, HIV/AIDS, environmental
sustainability. Forum such IYF is good forum to
build partnership among youth for achieving
Millennium Development Goals by 2015. The
difference between Worlds today and tomorrow
depends on the hands of the youths. Martha

The core of our goal is to make

younger generation should maintain
the spirit of youth and have a plan to
be the agent of change for achieving

(General of Social Empowerment)
To break and overcome the high number of unemployment, a
country can not only rely on its economic growth, especially when
it is in a low rate. In every way of empowering efforts aimed at soul
and entrepreneurship ability forming among youth must remain to
entangle them as the pro active subjects. The principle of from, by,

Education is foundation for achieving Millennium
Development Goals, improving gender quality,
and reducing disparity. Youth has significant role
to take action such for wiser use of water, food,
energy, friendlier and greener relation with Mother
Nature, promoting appreciation and understanding
of cultural diversity and peace and justice. Prof.
Nizam, M.Sc, Ph.d (Educational Department of

We are the one (young people) that better understand
our situation and better know our needs. We are the

very important that youth get involve in every part

For me organizing this forum is a moral responsibility
to create a better world through Youth partnership
on MDG's achievement. Honest sharing and dialogue
among youths cross important step in seeking an

BANDUNG DECLARATION
INTERNATIONAL YOUTH
FORUM 2008
STRENGTHENING THE ROLE OF YOUTH ACTION ON MILLENNIUM
DEVELOPMENT GOALS TOWARD A PEACEFUL WORLD
We, the delegates from 32 countries of the International Youth Forum
held at Bandung, Indonesia from June 23rd to 30th 2008, hereby
declare that:
I. All kind of conflicts in the world whether religious, tribal or civil
wars are an impediment to the implementation of MDGs and
we should partner together as youth to advocate for a peaceful
solution to all the conflicts which are hindering development. It
is our responsibility as youth to take our active role in sustaining
a peaceful world for our global co-existence as a generation.
II. Promised to strengthens our role in public policy issues in our
respective countries and encourage youth and community
based organizations inspired by Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) to continue with their activities.
Literacy is one factor that increases poverty rate among nations
and act as a hindrance to achieving MDGs. Therefore, our
participation in public policy in our respective countries, should
be advocating for easy access to education by all youth girls and
boys and provision of health services to the needy. For without
educational and health in this 21st century life can be unworth.
III. Declared that freedom is a fundamental human right, and as a
youth it is our responsibility to advocate for freedom as a panacea
to implementation of MDGs. For without freedom, development
cannot start.
IV. Global development is when all nations are free to pursue their
economic activities without hindrances from other nations
such as fair International Trade. Since trade is the backbone
of economic development and source for financing MDGs, then
it is our responsibility as youth to champion fair trading among
nations.
V. HIV/AIDS and other Diseases, the forum however recognized the
major devastating effect caused by this diseases on Development
and promised to work individually and collectively to rise HIV/AIDS
24
awareness in our respectively communities. Further investigate
the role of youth as care givers, and how youth employment
strategies can be part of scaling up delivery of medication. Use
youth expertise to create innovative and effective strategies for
prevention of HIV/AIDS, TB, and Malaria etc.
VI. Recognized that our global partnership as youth can improve
collaboration among countries in the world through our
development activities we may initiate in the future. Thus,
helping in realizations of our shared values and also as a source
for overcoming our common setbacks to development.
VII. All nations exist as nations because of their unique cultures. And
as youth, we recognized, valued and respect all cultures across
the global. And it is our responsibility to initiate activities that
bring these cultures together to understand themselves. Cultural
stereotyping has led to so many death in the past and still exist
today unless we come together as youth and fight this cultural
stereotype that hindered development for so many years, we will
always go million steps behind the development agenda. We
should discourage cultures that promote gender inequalities
and let all work to realize world without gender biased.
VIII. Environmental sustainability for sustainable development.
Having recognized global warming as a threat to all of us in
this global village, it is our shared responsibility individually
and collectively to conserved our environment. Global warming
distorts local economies and for MDGs to be achieved, we must
collectively reduce the risks cause by
external factors to the development.
IX. Without a doubt, we all agreed
that without our global partnership
as youth, achieving cultural co-
existence, eradication of poverty,
fight against HIV/AIDS, creating
peace and promoting development
etc will be a dream not realized. Our
shared strength is what we all saw
for the last seven days when we turn
Bandung into a global city inhabited
by all cultures and races. And if we
keep going, we turn the world into a meaningful global city.
Note : This declaration text will be a further discussion on the next Youth Forum
