	I am S. Urias Goll, Program Officer of the MRU Youth Parliament QUESTIONS FOR WEEK THREE 1. Do you know of efforts among young people to coordinate their efforts on and participation in promoting family planning, reproductive health, addressing sexually transmitted disease and gender equality? YES, but limited. 2. In your experience, what conditions have led to the best opportunities for young people to actively participate in activities which seek to promote family planning, reproductive health, and gender equality and address sexually transmitted disease? What have been the greatest barriers? I THINK THE FACT THAT YOUNG PEOPLE ARE HIGHLY AT RISK AND GREATLY AFFECTED CREATES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO PARTICIPATE. TH REFUSLA FOR POLICY MAKERS TO GIVE YOUNG PEOPLE THE AUTHORITY AND EXPERIENCE TO HANDLE THEIR ISSUES WITH GUIDANCE HAS BEEN A CARDINAL BARRIER. 3. How have the perspectives and opinions of young people been perceived among public and private institutions designing and implementing development programmes, with particular attention to those on family planning, reproductive health, sexually transmitted disease and gender equality? YOUNG PEOPLE PERSPECTIVES AND OPINIONS HAS NOT BEEN VIEWED BY MOST DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS AS PIVOTAL IN IMPLEMENTING PROGRAMS RELATING TO THESE ISSUES EXCEPT FOR SOME MAJOR ONES LIKE UNFPA, WAC, etc,
