text: United Nations and national-level youth organizations; (e) Inviting Governments to include youth representatives in their delegations to international meetings. It would seem wise to include in the programme for an indigenous year express provision for a follow-up conference to assess the results of the year and propose continuing action by the United Nations and Member States. 32. Two key elements of past international year programmes merit special consideration: participation and the establishment of national institutions. Both have high potential for producing lasting changes and should probably count highest among the aims of a year. 33. Participation of members and national-level organizations of the target group in the planning, activities, and evaluation of the year should definitely extend beyond accredited non-govemmental organizations to more grassroots organizations. It should involve them more fully in both the United Nations system and national government, and should include recruitment into the United Nations civil service. National institutions can strengthen participation further by providing meeting-grounds for representatives of the target group and government decision-makers, giving a very concrete form of empowerment. If a year can effect these kinds of procedural changes in both State and multilateral structures, it will have had a genuinely practical result.
