Background Each year, hundreds of youth representatives and various youth organizations participate in the World Health Assembly (WHA) and showing deep interest in global health governance and diplomacy. Although there is a very diverse presentation of young people at the WHA, up to date there is little opportunity to coordinate the actions and the voice of all youth representatives towards the WHA. Even more so, the global health system is becoming even more complex and it is becoming harder to maintain an overview of all events and actions. There is a need to better prepare and coordinate students and young people in order to streamline the efforts performed by various youth organizations at the global level, in addition to the local. This will ultimately lead to a stronger engagement of the youth at the WHA, creating a greater meaning and impact for youth engagement and empowerment.
