The full and effective participation of young people and youth organizations at the local, national, regional and international levels is important for the realization of the Millennium Development Goals, the promotion and implementation of the World Programme of Action for Youth to the Year 2000 and Beyond, and the evaluation of the progress achieved and the obstacles encountered in its implementation, and for support of the activities of mechanisms that have been set up by young people and youth organizations. Governments should encourage their participation in actions and decisions and in strengthening efforts to implement the World Programme of Action, bearing in mind that girls, boys, young women and young men have the same rights, but different needs and strengths, and that they are active agents in decision-making processes and for positive change and development in society.
65. 青年人和青年组织在地方、国家、区域和国际各级充分有效参与，对于实现千年发展目标，对于宣传和执行《到2000年及其后世界青年行动纲领》，对于评价所获进展以及执行中遇到的障碍，对于支持青年人和青年组织建立的各种机制所开展的活动来说，都具有重要意义。政府应鼓励青年人和青年组织参与各项行动和决策，参与加强《世界行动纲领》的执行工作，同时铭记女孩、男孩、女青年和男青年都有同样的权利，不过需求和力量有所不同，他们都是推动决策过程以及推动社会积极变革和发展的活跃力量。
