Pacific Youth Strategy 2010


At their 2004 meeting in Auckland, New Zealand, Pacific leaders agreed to listen to the needs and aspirations of the burgeoning population of young people in the region, and recognise the impact of bigger and more youthful populations on the resources required for education and vocational training, health care, and job opportunities. Following this, the 2nd Conference of Youth Ministers of the Pacific Community convened in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea from the 5 to 7 December 2005 and adopted the Pacific Youth Strategy 2010 (PYS2010) as the regional framework for youth development in the Pacific region to the year 2010 and beyond.
