Youth and women Emancipation (YAWE) is the youth-led agency established on the

ground of understanding the central role of youth and women in society especially on bringing stability,

process and long-term development of nations. Also, youth and women as well their children

are the ones commonly facing the problems that include among others being discriminated,

poverty, food insecurity, gender inequality, ill-health, illiteracy, incapacitation, ignorance and poor health

that endanger their domination in the development and humanitarian efforts.

Civic Engagement & Leadership

Participation of citizens, especially young women and men including people living with disabilities in democratization and public decision-making processes is key to development processes. Yet, youth face significant challenges, arising from globalization, violence, conflicts, access to quality education, demographic shifts and changing labour markets, lack of access to the most basic sexual reproductive health information. Moreover, young people are often excluded from formal decision-making processes and the opportunity to effectively influence and shape their own future.

We will mobilize and empower youth and their agencies to take active part in development processes. We will work with them to promote civic education and democracy as well as taking leadership roles as responsible citizens. We will also work towards strengthening their capacity to monitor the implementation of the government’s commitments to secure their livelihoods and destinies.
