Making Commitments Matter:

A Toolkit for Young People to Evaluate National Youth Policy

In 2005 the General Assembly will be reviewing the situation of youth and achievements made in the implementation of the World Programme of Action for Youth (WPAY) . The year 2005 has been chosen because it is ten years after the adoption of WPAY.

This Toolkit is meant for national youth organizations and/or representatives working with youth. It can be used as a tool to:

Assess your country's progress in reaching the WPAY goals;

Prioritize your organization's work, based on your findings;

Initiate actions at the national level.

This Toolkit should be used as a starting point for determining what has done to better the lives of young people since 1995 in your community. In addition to providing methods for evaluating this progress, the Toolkit also contains concrete tools to further your youth work. As such, we hope that you will find it both an informative and useful resource for your
organization.
