The International Council on National Youth Policy addresses itself to all States in the world, which are primarily responsible for national youth policy design, formulation, implementation and evaluation. In its activities, ICNYP works with all stakeholders, including young men and women, NGOs, notably youth NGOs, governments, parliaments, inter-governmental organizations, bilateral organizations and the United Nations System.

As a prominent leader in national youth policies, ICNYP is the only existing highly profiled international organization to specialize in this area with an operational approach. ICNYP continuously monitors developments in the field making this information available to members and partners. The quality of our services is recognized by major youth related organizations of the UN system (UNICEF, UNDP, etc…) and we are listed as a resource on the UN Programme on Youth.
