The second Regular Meeting of 2024 of the Summit Implementation Review Group (SIRG), held in Washington, D.C., concluded with a call from the youth to the Member States of the Organization of American States (OAS) to prioritize support for youth participation, entrepreneurship, and investment in youth. This emphasis is crucial as it reinforces the role of youth in addressing the “challenges, hurdles, and opportunities leading up to the X Summit of the Americas,” to be held in the Dominican Republic in October 2025.
