Involving young people in the design and execution of Summit activities, as well as many civil society representatives, the conference was a 'Call to Action' for all segments of society to consider the growing population of young people worldwide, especially in Africa, Latin America and Asia and how they will achieve sustainable livelihoods or employment as they make the transition to adulthood.

Ministers of Youth and Ministers of Labor together with Ministerial Delegations from over 70 countries participated in the Alexandria Youth Employment Summit 2002. This significant component of the Alexandria Youth Employment Summit provided a platform for dialogue on the YES thematic areas and regional strategies. These sessions were extremely useful in initiating discussions on government policies, practices, and innovations to develop the Alexandria Declaration and the shared commitment and vision to adopt the Framework for Action and promote youth employment. The Ministerial Forum provided Ministers with the opportunity to meet and develop relations with youth country networks and various stakeholders
