The LYDP is structured around the 10 centers of youth participation on health, education, economic empowerment, social inclusion and equity, peace-building and security, good governance, active citizenship, agriculture, environment, and global mobility to address various youth-related issues.

It also outlines specific programs, each with performance indicators, target participants, priority areas, and an annual budget.
