“I know that I and my fellow girls in my village can play a great role in implementing the Global Goals in this community once empowered and most importantly given the chance.”

Letter to President Obama
For the first time in history, we have the chance to build a truly inclusive, equitable, sustainable world. This is the promise of the Global Goals for Sustainable Development. We can meet the Global Goals, but only if each of us are engaged in a real, sustained way on making and measuring progress on the Goals.
The Youth Action Mapper puts the power of the CreativeMapper mobile app and online mapping tool into the hands of youth and others, equipping you to map, make and measure progress towards the Global Goals.
Youth Action Mapper is a broad and growing coalition of international, national and local organizations working to advance the common goals of engaging youth around progress towards the Global Goals through mapping, mobilization and measurement. The initiative is currently led by the Creative Development Lab at Creative Associates International. See our current Partners.
