​As debates on the post-2015 agenda continue to unfold in earnest on the structure and substance of each possible goal area – the ‘what’ of the framework – even more pressing yet unresolved questions remain on ‘how’ the framework will be monitored and governments held accountable for their commitments. This paper argues that young people, the majority of whom live in developing countries, should be included as key stakeholders - not only within the goals and targets of the framework, but also in post-2015 monitoring and accountability mechanisms.
