Some background information

At the 1991 World Youth Forum in Vienna a number of Youth NGOs discussed the situation of young people and their contribution to peace and development in the world. Canada World Youth (CWY) came forward with the idea of a multilateral Youth Exchange Project with the UN as a global coordinator. United Nations Volunteers (UNV) began discussions on the proposal with CWT and they agreed to initiate a pilot project which was launched in Benin in 1993.The result was described as "excellent" by all parties involved. In connection to the UN's 50th anniversary in 1995, UNV initiated a multilateral youth exchange program, Youth Partners in Development, YPD. The aim was to give young people insight into the United Nations and a chance to participate in development work in connection with UN projects.
