Youth Visioning Progress Report
(July-December '06)
22 December 2006

Over the last six months of the Youth Visioning for Island Living initiative, there has been rapid progress and a marked increase in activities. This maturation of the initiative has helped shape project procedures and highlighted the need to formulate a strategy for the long-term future. In addition, and perhaps more importantly, as projects are being completed and follow-up projects initiated, preliminary signs of the impact and successes foreseen by the initiative are starting to be apparent.

Three projects were completed during this period, sixteen projects are currently in progress and five are being developed.

The sentiments expressed by UNESCO’s Youth Section, the youth and other partners are very encouraging and all are intrigued about the future of this initiative. Therefore, the Coasts & Small Islands (CSI) platform will do its best to continue leading and extending Youth Visioning for Island Living beyond 2007.

The support of the Lighthouse Foundation has and continues to be crucial to the success of Youth Visioning.

‘We thank you for your commitment to this initiative and look forward to keeping you informed of the ongoing project implementation phase’.
