At YAIN, we envision, design and make it happen. We understand the urgent need for youth developmet, for the good of today and ensuring a sustainable tomorrow. No one will do it or make it work the very way we want it, without us. Young volunteers have the privilege and liberty to sink deep into their taught to create simple but community impacting and enabling projects.
Our thematic area covers: MDGs, Governance, Information Technology (IT4Dev).
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
Young people are taught to understand what the MDGs represents; how the eight (8) goals links to the challenges in our immediate communities, national and global development.
The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – which range from halving extreme poverty rates to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015 – form a blueprint agreed to by all the world’s countries and all the world’s leading development institutions. They have galvanized unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the world’s poorest.
Goal 1 –Eradication of Extreme Poverty and Hunger.
Goal 2 – Achieve Universal Primary Education.
Goal 3 – Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women.
Goal 4- Reduce Child Mortality.
Goal 5 – Improve Maternal Health.
Goal 6 – Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases.
Goal 7 – Ensure Environmental Sustainability.
Goal 8 – Develop Global Partnership for Development.
Presently, the UN is anchoring processes across the globe, giving opportunity to everyone to make input into the Post-2015 Development Agenda, which would replace the MDGs
Youth & Governance
As backbone of the society, young people deserve the rights to know and be actively involved in decision-making processes. What we do is to bridge the gap on the passive youth participation in governance and create a platform for young people to learn, understand more on civic engagement, rights and responsibilities of citizens; giving them the power to engage positively.
