Youth Co:Lab positions young people front and center in order
to solve the region's most pressing challenges. Co-created in
2017 by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and
the Citi Foundation, Youth Co:Lab aims to establish a common
agenda for countries in the Asia-Pacific region to empower and
invest in youth, so that they can accelerate the
implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
through leadership, social innovation and entrepreneurship.
Youth Co:Lab has been implemented in 25 countries and
territories across Asia Pacific: Australia, Bangladesh,
Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Fiji, Hong Kong (SAR), Indonesia,
India, Japan, Malaysia, the Maldives, Mongolia, Nepal,
Pakistan, Philippines, Samoa, Singapore, Solomon Islands,
