Cross-cutting themes that underpin all our work

Equal
opportunities

We ensure  young men and women have equal access to opportunities, addressing all kind of barriers and social norms that restrict their potential and life.

Inclusion and representation

We empower youth to engage in decision-making processes, ensuring their contributions are valued, represented, and lead to positive outcomes for them.

Mental health support

After decades of conflict and inadequate mental health care system, improving youth well-being is a prerequisite for developing their mindset, agency and life skills.

Climate resilience and adaptation

We build strong resilience and contribute climate adaptation by equipping communities with the knowledge, tools and ressources to implement sustainable practices.

Peacebuilding and social cohesion

We contribute to peace-building and unity through dialogue, reconciliation, and collaboration among diverse communities to create social cohesion and advance opportunities.

Ending clannism and discrimination
