Download Handbook to lobby your government to become a National Youth Delegate Programme to the United Nations.

The World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA) is a global nonprofit organization working for a stronger and more effective United Nations. Established in 1946, we represent and coordinate a membership of over 100 United Nations Associations and their thousands of members.

This free, downloadable Handbook guides young people through the process of developing a proposal and budget for a national Youth Delegate Programme under the guidance of their United Nations Association, as well as taking them step-by-step through creating their own campaign for such a Programme. This handbook includes a number of website and links, including some of the additional resources .

This low figure can be attributed to, among other things, the lack of easily accessible and comprehensive information about how a national Youth Delegate Programme can be established in a country that does not yet have one. Establishing such a programme comes with its own unique set of difficulties, including convincing government officials of its value, navigating bureaucracy, overcoming funding challenges, and putting the appropriate processes in place for a sustainable and democratic programme.
