The principal objective of this vision is to move the Community from an \u00abECOWAS of States\u00bb to an \u00abECOWAS of Peoples\u00bb by the year 2020.<\/li>\n<li>Consequently, the EYSDC implements her policies, activities and strategic action plans, as well as the ECOWAS vision in the areas of youth and sports, including the ECOWAS Volunteers Programme. The EYSDC\u2019s objective is to initiate, develop, coordinate and implement youth and sports programmes within the Community. To this end, it works to:\n<ul>\n<li>Mobilise the different segments of the population to ensure their integration and effective participation in the social development of the region, as well as the promotion of youth organisations and professional associations to ensure maximum participation in the activities of the Community;<\/li>\n<li>Provide a permanent institutional framework within ECOWAS through which issues related to Youth and Sports activities in the sub-region can be developed and promoted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Organizational Framework of the Centre:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Youth and Sports Development Centre (EYSDC) is one of the Directorates under the Social Affairs and Gender Department of the ECOWAS Commission.

However, since 2008, the Centre has undergone some structural modifications following the transfer of the ECOWAS Volunteers Programme (EVP) from the Political Affairs, Peace and Security Department of the Commission (CPAPS) to the EYSDC, under the Social Affairs and Gender Department.<\/li>\n<li>The EVP is centralized in organisation, but decentralized in its application to allow for flexibility and adaptation to the current realities of each country.

The programme\u2019s regional coordination activities are coordinated by a Regional Coordinator under the supervision of the EYSDC Director. Although the EVP is under the Youth Division of the EYSDC, it is directly supervised by the EYSDC Director for effectiveness.<\/li>\n<li>At the National level, the National Coordination Council (NCC) serves as the national body through which national policy guidelines for the Programme are given. This Council works towards the understanding and entrenchment of the Volunteer Programme in the national environment. It also serves as advisor to the country office, which is responsible for the coordination of the Programme at national level. The NCC is chaired by the Head of the ECOWAS National Office in the country.
