Happy International Youth Day and welcome to the latest update of UNDP Asia Pacific’s Youth
Empowerment initiative. This year, the theme for International Youth Day is “Safe Spaces for Youth”.
This refers to civic spaces, physical public spaces and digital spaces which allow young people to engage
in decision making, participate fully in their communities and interact virtually with others across
borders. In order for young people to be able to effectively contribute to social and economic
development, it is crucial that these spaces are inclusive of all youth.
In many countries in the Asia-Pacific region, as in the rest of the world, youth are effectively excluded
from decision making and political forums, and their access to and participation in public spaces is
restricted. This is particularly true for young women and other marginalised youth, and further
entrenches existing social tensions and inequalities.

Policy Brief-Universal Basic Education Finance in Nigeria.pdfYouthHubAfrica
Nigeria has to stay on track to deliver the fourth Sustainable Development Goal
(SDG4) by 2030. In that respect, extending compulsory, free and qualitative universal
basic education (UBE) to 12 years is an essential step toward overcoming one of the
current weaknesses of UBE in Nigeria. Making UBE compulsory, free and qualitative
for 12 years will align policy in Nigeria with SDG4 and make education work for all
children in the country.
This manual is for use by peer educators on promotion of sexual and reproductive
health and rights (SRHR), and prevention of sexual and gender-based violence
(SGBV)/violence against women and girls (VAWG), and harmful practices (in
particular child marriage and female genital mutilation – FGM). The training
focuses more on services that peer educators can offer in their communities
including information and counselling on:
· SGBV/VAWG
· Harmful practices particularly child marriage and FGM
· SRHR
This manual is for use by Trainers of Peer Educators on the promotion of health and development of adolescents
and young people in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), Mental Health, Drug Abuse, Healthy
Nutrition, Prevention of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV)/Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)
and harmful practices (Child Marriage and Female Genital Mutilation – FGM) among others.
Draft Essential Services Package for GBV Child Marriage and FGM (4).pdfYouthHubAfrica
Gender based violence (GBV), child marriage and female genital
mutilation (FGM) are important issues that challenge the sexual and
reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of women and girls in Nigeria.
These challenges are present in all parts of the country although child
marriage is more common in the northern part while FGM is more
common in the south.
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.

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.

On the 4th of November 2021, 42 Girls from 6 geopolitical zones in Nigeria (ages 15-19) came together in Abuja to develop the Girls' Charter - a list of demands springing from conversations on issues they experience in various parts of their lives.

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.

lawmakers to strengthen laws in Kebbi state for the benefit of children in the state, especially girls.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

paid to young Africans. They still lack access to quality education and other basic
amenities. In 2018, we continued our advocacy work to increase youth access to
the tools theyneed to impact theirlives.We partneredwith different CSOs to draw
attention to policies as well as issues needed to provide a better future forAfrican
youths. Every day, we continue working to ensure that the future of the continent

10. Youthhubafrica 2018 Report 08
It is with great pleasure that I present our 2018 annual report. By
virtue of our work at YouthHubAfrica, we are constantly in a
position where we relate with young people. From the office to
the field, the realities and their concerns readily stare us in the
face.
With 60% of Africa’s population of over 1.2 billion people being
youths under the age of 25, this is a potential that if properly
harnessed can become a strong force that will address the
challenges that the African continent is facing. In that light, our
activitieswere targeted at doing just that.
2018 was special for us, as it saw us executing projects that
highlighted the incredible role that young people play today
even as we project their potentials for the future. These year, we
held the first edition of the Media Internship Programme where
we trained 12 young Nigerians, equipping them with tools
needed to revolutionise the media landscape. We also
coordinated the Babatunde Oshotimehin Annual Lecture and
Essay Competition where we hosted 465 people and received 217
essay submissions from 84 universities across the country. Not
forgetting the maiden edition of the Knowledge Management Series
where we hosted some high-level speakers who engaged many
young Africans. We also produced and screened Sandra’s Cross 2
across the country, using film to sensitise young audiences about the
challenges young girls face on the continent. There were more
projectswhichwewillletyou read in the report.
This work was made possible because of support from the tireless
YouthHub staff, and volunteers. We also say thank you to all our
funders and partners forworkingwith us to support ourgoals
In 2019, we look forward to reaching more young Africans
through life transforming programmes.Together,we can take
the continentto the futureofourdreams.

#FundNationalLibrary Campaign
In 2016, the contract for the construction of the National
Library was awarded by the Federal Ministry of Education, for
a sum of 8.59 billion Naira, to be completed in 22 months.
Fifteen years after its open bid (in 2002), and 11 years since
construction began (in 2006), the building is yet to be
completed. The National Library project seems to have
become awhite elephant project used to milk the economyas
it always makes an appearance in the budget almost every
year. In 2018, a total of 1.5 billion naira was allocated to the
National Library of Nigeria building located on Plot 35,
Cadastral Zone A, Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC). This
is why this campaign by a coalition of Civil Society
Organisations, led by Youthhubafrica, to demand the
completion ofthe NationalLibraryis important.

39. YHA advocacy strategy is to influence policies relating to young people, and make the environment (policy and legislative)
enabling for its activities in the 5 sub-regions of Africa. YHA will regularly review and package data to influence advocacy efforts,
and specifically inform strategic, planning and budgeting cycles, including budget allocation, release of funds and utilization of
such. Advocacy will be mainstreamed into all the program components of YHA as the ultimate strategy that can sustain and
guaranteethat gains recorded can last.
An outcome of policy analysis is getting Governments to be accountable for planning and implementation of youth programs.
Many African governments have ratified and committed to relevant international and regional instruments on youth , which
have not translated to tangible outcomes and demographic dividends in most parts. This calls for YHA to conduct policy
analysis, which it would use in championing youth cause. The objective of this strategy is to promote sustainable pro-youth
policies across the continent.

success story of YHA. The level and nature of volunteer involvement has been a distinguishing feature of the organization
compared to many otheryouth agencies in Africa. YHA aims to build a dynamic and diverse network ofvolunteers who identify
with and work to support its vision and mission. YHA’s role in supporting that network is to facilitate communication, share

Extending the quality, relevance and impact of its work relies on building enduring partnerships at the local, national and
continental levels. The various challenges inherent in youth development, are beyond what a single organization can hope to
effectively address. ThusYHAwill adopt strategic alliance and partnership as a strategy to liaise and work with other individuals
and or organizations in 4 other regions of the African continent. It would also collaborate with community groups, youth

Africans are coupling their already extensive use of cell phones with a more recent and massive interest in social media. On a
continent where 30 million children miss out on primary school education yet there is 73% mobile phone penetration, there is
little question that the fusing of technology with education in Africa has the potential to expand the educational horizons of
millions. Internet-based tools and platforms allows people to interact with each other much more than in the past. Africans are
leadingwhat maybe the next globaltrend: a majorshift to mobile Internet use,with socialmedia as its main drivers.

development programs in public, private and CSOs sectors. Weak capacity reflects in poor/non-existent mechanism for

resources. YHA will build the capacity of young people across Africa and interventions will include training, internships,
