Community & Youth Development Initiatives (CYDI), is a non-governmental organization (NGO) founded on the principle that true development is self-development. CYDI was established on 1st July 2001 in response to the result of the 1999 National HIV/syphilis Sero-prevalence Sentinel Survey, which showed that HIV prevalence among young people (20-24 yrs.) ranged from 4.2%-9.7% and to help government and other stakeholders to address the health and developmental challenges faced by young people (10-24 years) in Imo State.
