The Commonwealth Youth Innovation Hub is a platform that empowers young people across the Commonwealth by driving economic and social innovation, fostering unity through sustainable impact, and enhancing youth skills through technology and creativity.

During the meeting, Dr. Sirimal Abeyratne (Executive Director) and Dr. Indika Bulankulame (Senior Research Professional) shared CEPA’s work on youth skills and competencies, including the documentary-style study conducted last year on the aspirations of and challenges faced by Sri Lankan youth.
