How we work
Youth & Society-Africa builds effective, sustainable, and scalable initiatives that drive change around key humanitarian principles, interconnected strategic objectives: Youth agency, Policy Advocacy, Education, Peacebuilding, Protection and Culture.
We engage with all members of the youth development ecosystem: corporations and foundations, government institutions, multilateral organisations and local leaders, communities and—most importantly— young people. Playing the role of connector and convener, Youth & Society ensures that individual efforts are aligned, communication channels are open, and solutions include and respond to the real needs of young people. Their insights, ideas, enthusiasm, and energy act as an integral part of every solution.
