About Commonwealth Youth Programme
Engaging and empowering young people to enhance their contribution to development.
Commonwealth Youth Programme Description
For over four decades, the Commonwealth Youth Programme has provided assistance to governments in developing and implementing youth-focused policies and programmes.
We also work with young people to drive youth-led initiatives, and provide technical assistance for national, regional and international organisations, as well as youth networks on various thematic areas.
We celebrate the achievements of young people in development through our annual Commonwealth Youth Awards. We also support a youth blog, YourCommonwealth.org, and convene the Commonwealth Youth Ministers Meeting and Commonwealth Youth Forum.
