The NYDT Youth Development Programme seeks to use Science Based Activities [SciBA], such as Science Based Competition [SBC] and sport as conduits to empower the Youth of Africa.

The NYDT will work effortlessly with the Commonwealth Secretariat and the various Commonwealth initiatives, such as the Commonwealth Youth Programme, Commonwealth Youth Credit Initiative and the Commonwealth Advisory Body on Sport, as well as the Commonwealth Family of Nations to ensure that young people living under difficult circumstances are developed socially, economically and politically in Global context.

An article on the NTDT and its role in Commonwealth Youth Development was published in the   

2008 Commonwealth Finance Ministers Reference Report.

The NYDT is honored to play a role in the Millennium Development goals of the Commonwealth.
