The post on the royal pair's Instagram feed said they were looking forward to raising awareness of the work local communities are doing "across the Commonwealth and beyond".
In 2006, Prince Harry jointly founded Sentebale, a charity helping to support children and young people affected by HIV in Lesotho and Botswana.
Last week the prince gave his backing to a landmine clearing initiative to help rid Angola of 153 minefields - a cause previously championed by his mother Diana, Princess of Wales.
