Goal 1

Civic Participation

Despite constituting a huge proportion of the population, young people are rarely included in decision-making processes in Zambia. We're working to ensure that young Zambians are able to take up substantial, demand-led accountability roles in development with local and national decision makers.

Goal 2

Livelihoods and Employment

Zambia's high levels of poverty are hitting young people the hardest. But, by starting their own enterprises and being connected to employment opportunities, young people can be part of the solution. We're working with young people to help them build sustainable livelihoods which are critical to Zambia's long term macroeconomic growth.

Goal 3

Sexual and Reproductive Health

Zambia is one of the worst affected countries by HIV and AIDS in the world, and young people account for a disproportionate number of new infections. With limited access to sexual health education and services, young people are unable to protect themselves and make responsible, healthy choices. Our youth-led programmes are having hugely positive results in both sexual health knowledge and behaviour across Zambia.
