More than half of the Central American population is currently under 30 years old, and about 49% of the Central American population will be under 30 in 2030. However, the participation of young people in public matters decreases every year. Our societies face great vulnerabilities such as inequality, climate change and authoritarian regressions. In this context, collaborative governance stands out as a way to promote the construction of diverse and consensual solutions to today’s big challenges. Cooperation between the public sector, the private sector, and civil society can drive sustainable and inclusive growth; but for this, it is first necessary to generate trust between them. The panel will address strategies to achieve active participation of all sectors in generating solutions that promote sustainable development for the next 25 years, so that the demographic dividend can be leveraged.
