The My World 2030 Asia-Pacific Advocacy Program is a series of comprehensive advocacy activities led by the UNDP Bangkok Regional Hub, UNV Asia-Pacific, and UN SDG Action Campaign. Moreover, the campaign aims to advocate for SDGs and promote citizen engagement. The campaign, further, works on data collection activities among young people across the Asia-Pacific region.

After two successful rounds, another group of talented young leaders will join the Advocacy Programme and will have the opportunity to work as MY World 2030 Advocates and become agents of change in their community, city, region, and country. Moreover, the objectives of the Asia-Pacific Advocacy Program are:

• Raise awareness for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
• Collect citizen data and input using the MY World 2030 survey
• Advocate for citizen engagement in the implementation of the SDGs
