The CYF provides an independent platform and voice for representative Commonwealth youth to consider a young person’s agenda at the same time as the CHOGM.

These are shared with Heads of Government and disseminated Commonwealth-wide.

We, the delegates of the sixth Commonwealth Youth Forum, representing 47 Commonwealth member countries and territories, are pleased to report that we have held fruitful discussions under the theme of ‘Breaking Barriers: Unleashing Young People’s Potential for evelopment’. We thank our Ugandan hosts for this opportunity. We have committed ourselves to achieving substantial outcomes before young Commonwealth representatives meet again in Trinidad and Tobago in 2009 and ask you for your help in realising these. Young people make up more than half of the Commonwealth’s population. We must continue invest in young people as their involvement can ensure advancements for generations to come.
