Desk Review- FCT Towards Attaining the Universal Health Coverage(UHC).pdfYouthHubAfrica
Healthcare remains one of the greatest needs of man all through time and in considering healthcare,
recourse has to be paid to the ethics, the people, the process and other intangible considerations. These
considerations are responsible for health care being possible in the frst place and also responsible
for the cost of healthcare which is known to – sometimes – be out of the reach of the common
man. According to IOM (1993), access to health care means having the timely use of personal health
services to achieve the best health outcomes.
Education is the most powerful investment in our future.
But the Nigerian education system is in a state of emergency and the country is lagging behind even the poorest country in the continent.
In the world today, there are over 200 million women and girls who have been subjected to female genital mutilation. These women and girls are spread across about 30 different countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. This harmful practice which has been proven to have no health benefits has caused long-lasting physical, emotional and psychological trauma and in some cases death.
The ICT lab, remodeled by YouthHubAfrica, was funded as part of Huawei Technology Nigeria Limited's Corporate Social Responsibility plans in Nigeria. Huawei provided ICT facilities for students, and YouthHubAfrica remodeled one of the existing buildings into a modernized ICT Lab where its students can access digital education, building and expanding their digital skills and knowledge.
As part of efforts to address the build-up of issues occasioned by human rights violations by security personnel in Nigeria, the "You Matter in this Matter" project was designed. #YouMatterInThisMatter is distinctively a response to the #EndSARS protest by Nigerian youths in 2020. The project was executed in FCT Abuja, Oyo, Bauchi and Ebonyi states for youths, women and persons living with disability to report human rights violations.
The number to call for free to report human rights violations by any security officer in the FCT is 08005005555.
The United Nations has set a goal under SDG4 for countries to prioritise the need to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. The adoption of the sustainable development goals by Nigeria has placed a duty on them to make policies and legislation that would assist in attaining the seven targets that lead to the achievement of the goal set down by the UNDP.
Nigeria has to stay on track to deliver the fourth Sustainable Development Goal(SDG4) by2030. In that respect, extending compulsory, free and qualitative universal basic education (UBE) to12years is an essential step toward overcoming one of the current weaknesses of UBE in Nigeria. Making UBE compulsory, free and qualitativefor12years will align policy in Nigeria with SDG4and make education work for all children in the country.

Print Media Analysis of GBV cases in Nigeria (April - September 2021)YouthHubAfrica
Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is described as violence, including sexual, physical, mental and economic harm inflicted on an individual in public or in private on account of the individual’s gender. This includes the threat of violence, all forms of coercion and manipulations. GBV spectrum extends to all forms of intimate partner violence, sexual violence, child marriage, female genital mutilation and honor crimes (1). The trauma associated with GBV has debilitating effects on the lives of survivors and this negatively affects their productivity and perpetuates the cycle of poverty survivors have to contend with.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

AHMR is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed online journal created to encourage and facilitate the study of all aspects (socio-economic, political, legislative and developmental) of Human Mobility in Africa. Through the publication of original research, policy discussions and evidence research papers AHMR provides a comprehensive forum devoted exclusively to the analysis of contemporaneous trends, migration patterns and some of the most important migration-related issues.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
