  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. Recently, Youth Co:Lab launched the Movers Programme, a regional movement of volunteers who organise and facilitate workshops at a grassroots level to raise awareness about the SDGs and develop entrepreneurial mindsets among youth.
