Statement in Support of the
CHOGM initiative
Youth for the Future
By Honourable Michael Browne, Minister of Education, Youth & Sports

       As Minister with responsibility for Youth, I hereby indicate my support of the "YOUTH FOR THE FUTURE" initiative. There are several aspects of this initiative which strike a respondent chord in me and our Ministry. Among these, are the poverty-reduction programme and the fight against HIV/AIDS both of which are top priority areas for our Government.

               We are keen to participate in this new programme for youth, with particular interest in components 2 (Commonwealth Youth Volunteering) and 4 (Commonwelth Youth Leadership).
