To enhance the meaningful participation of youth in peace and security processes through capacity building, advocacy, and partnerships.
To create a peaceful and secure Kenya where youth are active participants and leaders in peacebuilding processes.
This coalition is a host for youth-led organisations, activists, advocates, and peacebuilders working with government officials and national civil society organisations.
Adopted in 2015, UNSCR 2250 was a landmark development that formally recognised young people as key contributors to peacebuilding and conflict resolution.
Every donation strengthens youth-led advocacy, training, and dialogue that keep the Youth, Peace and Security agenda moving forward in Kenya’s counties and at the national level.
