Established by a group of innovative young individuals in 2017, Y-ACT aims to address challenges that have been prioritized by the youth. With a strong focus on equality and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), Y-ACT empowers and uplifts youth advocates, enabling them to become change-makers in their communities. Through tailored training, mentoring, coaching, and coalition-building support, Y-ACT equips African youth advocates and organizations with the necessary tools and skills to drive policy changes at both the national and regional levels. The movement strongly believes that Africa's youth have the power to reshape policy landscapes and overcome the obstacles they face, ultimately realizing their full potential. At Y-ACT, meaningful youth engagement lies at the core of their work. They gather evidence and utilize youth networks to bolster grassroots advocacy campaigns, particularly focusing on gender and SRHR. Y-ACT also fosters organizational development and continuous learning among advocates and partners to enhance their capacity for maximum impact. With a commitment to digital advocacy and amplifying youth voices, Y-ACT aims to create a new generation of transformational leaders. Through their initiatives like Sauti Sasa, Youth Power Hub, Youth 4 UHC, and Generation Equality, Y-ACT actively works towards reducing teenage pregnancies, ensuring universal health coverage, and fostering gender equality.
