Commonwealth Youth Programme - Strategic Plan 2008-2012

The task of the Commonwealth Youth Programme is to contribute to the empowerment of young people. It has set about that work in partnership with Commonwealth governments, with young people themselves, and with civil society and business organisations active in the field. We can take satisfaction from the way that CYP, since 1974, has helped governments address the challenges of their young people, while - at the same time - building those same young people’s skills. We hope that we have helped to build their self-belief, too. The Commonwealth Youth Programme’s (CYP) 2008-12 Strategic Plan is designed to respond to a threefold challenge. - The large number of young people - Adaptation and maximisation of potential - Financial resources
