The Fund which became operational in 1998 is managed at regional level by the SPC Youth Development Adviser and by Management Committees at country level.

Missions

To enhance the skills development initiatives for disadvantaged young men and women in the participating countries

An area of priority expressed by small island members is with skills training of young people.
This is training designed to give underemployed young people a place in the community and will guarantee that the Small Island States Fund is being focused on an area of need for young people. It is envisaged that the funds be used for in-country training programmes in order to provide maximum opportunities for as many young people as possible.
