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.
