Who We Are

Y-ACT, Youth in Action, was formed at Amref Health Africa by a group of young innovators in 2017 to address challenges prioritized by the youth. We have become one of the region’s most influential youth-led movements. Y-ACT provides tailored training, mentorship, coaching and coalition-building support to African youth advocates and youth organizations. We believe that Africa’s youth have a tremendous opportunity to shift in-country and regional policy landscapes, address challenges that the youth face, and achieve their full potential.

Youth aren’t just the future—they are the present. It’s time to break through silos and deliver multi-sectoral, integrated solutions that meet their diverse needs. Let’s build a world where youth voices are central to decision-making.

#AmrefAtUNGA79 #UNGA79

Young people demand more than promises—they want action. It's critical that youth have a seat at the decision-making table. Let’s amplify their voices and ensure they are part of shaping the solutions that impact their lives.
