Youth policy in Cyprus

The international review process was established to fulfil three distinct objectives: • to advise on national youth policy; • to identify components which might combine to form a harmonised approach to youth policy across Europe; and • to contribute to a learning process in relation to the development and implementation of youth policy. The Youth Directorate of the Council of Europe embarked on its international reviews of national youth policy in 1997. Cyprus is the second Mediterranean country to be the focus of an international review and the eleventh in the series. This report includes information gathered by the international review team as well as its analyses and recommendations concerning the development, perspectives and challenges for the future of youth policy in Cyprus.
