My Body, My Life, My World Operational Guidance: Introduction

My Body, My Life, My World puts young people at the centre of UNFPA’s work, recognizing their right to make informed choices about their own bodies, their own lives and the world they live in. In 2022 UNFPA is publishing an Operational Guidance on the strategy for the staff of Country and Regional Offices and UNFPA Headquarters.

The nine modules, together with a Young People’s Empowerment Index, provide a practical overview and essential tools and resources for the design, implementation and monitoring of programmes, based on the experiences of UNFPA and its partners around the world.
