Abstract
Youth participation makes an essential contribution to the design of policies and with the appropriate
structures, and processes, meaningful engagement leads to healthier, more just, and equal societies. There is a substantial
gap between rhetoric and reality in terms of youth participation and there is scant research about this gap, both globally
and in South Africa. In this paper we examine youth participation in the Adolescent and Youth Health Policy (AYHP)
formulation process to further understand how youth can be included in health policy-making.
