UNICEF Philippines’ field office in Mindanao used the Adolescent Kit as a resource to develop an Adolescents and Youth Peacebuilders Manual. The Adolescents and Youth Peacebuilders Manual is used by local organizations to catalyze and strengthen programmes that support adolescents’ development of competencies to contribute to their communities, and their design of community action projects to contribute to peace.
