The Commonwealth Youth Awards, which encourage and sustain investment in youth-led development, are open for 2013 nominations.
Youth workers are encouraged to nominate young people, who are driving innovative projects in any number of areas, including agriculture, small enterprise, skills training, climate change/environment protection, sustainable livelihoods and poverty reduction.
Winners are awarded grants to advance the work of their projects and they also liaise closely with the Commonwealth Youth Programme on the best way to use the funding. Nominees for the awards should be aged between 15 and 29 years.
