The program, in light of the resolution 2250 of the United Nations, will provide leadership opportunities to one youth representative every year by enabling him/her to act as an ambassador of peace who can influence policies on the national and global levels.

The youth delegate will meet with other young people across the country, hear their voices, and convey their message to the international community.

The UNAMA in Afghanistan and the Ministry of Foreign affairs have supported this program since 2018.

The Afghan Youth Representative to the United Nations program will provide a unique opportunity to the applicant to travel to Germany and New York, connect with decision-makers, and high official people, as well as engage in debate and present the voice of Afghans in the Security Council of the United Nations.
