We envision a peaceful world offering youth an opportunity to participate and involve themselves in socio-economic development decisions and activities.
AFRICAN YOUTH ACTION NETWORK
The African Youth Action Network (AYAN) is a youth-led organization fronting youth as advocates for social and integrated development. AYAN is motivated to bestow overall responsibility upon the youth to coordinate, execute and oversee delivery of a suite of services and economic empowerment initiatives to refugee communities, Internally Displaced Persons, and youth in Uganda and South Sudan.
Over the years, AYAN’s focus has continuously evolved due to the emerging challenges that form barriers to peace and development, as a result AYAN adapts, adopts and innovates new mechanisms that align development interventions to the prevailing circumstances and pressing needs of the target population.
