UN-HABITAT adopted a resolution in 2007 to establish the UN-HABITAT Youth Fund to mobilize young people for advocating for youth-related policy formulation; support governmental and non-governmental agencies to respond to youth concerns; support youth information networks; implement new ideas on employment, governance, adequate shelter and secure tenure; share best practices; promote vocation training for entrepreneurship and employment; and promote gender mainstreaming in all urban youth matters. The Fund was officially launched as the Opportunities Fund for Urban Youth-Led Development on 4 November 2008 at the fourth sessions of the World Urban Youth Forum in Nanjing, China.
