Who We Are
Involve Africa is a Pan-African youth-driven development organization working to increase and strengthen young people's involvement in governance processes, social progress and peace building in Africa.
Involve Africa is committed to empowering young Africans (male, female & socially excluded groups) to play a critical role in Africa's development by strengthening their participation in governance policy and processes, redirect young people's skill, intellect, resilience and energy to solve Africa's governance and development challenges.
An Africa driven by youthful leaders with the core principles of good governance and social transformation.
To build a generation of young African leaders who are equipped, motivated and positioned to drive sustainable development and democratic governance across Africa.
Our work spans three core thematic areas: Democratic Governance & Civic Participation, Sustainable Development & Youth Empowerment, and Peace Building & Conflict Prevention.
Impact
What we focus on — tracked across five key areas of youth governance and development.
What We Do
Three flagship programmes driving youth participation in governance, democracy and national development.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted in 2015, is the international community's ambitious response to today's most pressing global development challenges. Youth people play a key role in shaping this agenda and experience first-hand many of the issues it seeks to address. We host young persons across all 36 states for SDGs mainstreaming, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
Young persons are indispensable ingredients of our today's democracy as they represent at least two thirds of the votes. The voices of the youth in the mandate political office holders enjoy at all levels of government. Days are gone when young people are only recruited during election to create violence. Youth are now the engine and agenda drivers of our inclusive democracy. V2Y is a good governance project supporting Youth of States in the Southwest region to raise their voices to demand rights and services to which they are entitled.
The legislature is not only a symbol of democracy but also the participatory space of development. As an arm of government, the legislature provides citizens the opportunity to participate in law making and oversight of the other arms of government projected to accountability in public governance. This program enhances legislative accountability through effective youth participation in legislative processes, targeting citizens' engagement with elected representatives at local, state and national level.
