African Youth Action Network (AYAN)

About

The African Youth Action Network (AYAN) is a youth-led organization fronting youth as advocates for social and integrated development. AYAN is motivated to bestow overall responsibility upon the youth to coordinate, execute and oversee delivery of a suite of services and economic empowerment initiatives to refugee communities, Internally Displaced Persons, and youth in Uganda and South Sudan. Over the years, AYAN’s focus has continuously evolved due to the emerging challenges that form barriers to peace and development, as a result AYAN adapts, adopts and innovates new mechanisms that align development interventions to the prevailing circumstances and pressing needs of the target population. Founded in June 2015, in Uganda, the organization is currently registered in South Sudan as a National NGO and Regional NGO in Uganda.
