Nigeria Youth SDGs Network (NGYouthSDGs) registered as Network of Youth for Sustainable Initiative is a youth-led and youth-serving civil society organization working with youth leaders and youth groups to advocate for meaningful youth engagement in policies and programs for youth to lead and thrive.
With a focus on policies and programs that will enable young people to lead and thrive, we work with youth groups, youth stakeholders like the government, international and national development partners, the private sector, academia, and the press to amplify the voices of youth and facilitate their meaningful participation in the developmental agenda of their country.
Our Vision
A Nigeria where young people are aware of their rights and their power to lead change, working with decision-makers and stakeholders to build programmes and policies that will help youth to lead and thrive.
Our Mission
A youth-led civil society organisation advocating for meaningful youth engagement in policy and programmes that will enable youth in Nigeria to lead and thrive.
Our Focus
Investing in the human capacity development of the younger population is pivotal to creating a nation with a shared purpose that inspires sustainable development. NGYouthSDGs’ tailor-made programs for youth champions and volunteers across Nigeria helps build a network of socially conscious leaders willing to work across tribal and religious divides for the betterment of their communities, states, and the nation.
Young people and women are taking up productive livelihoods and employment opportunities that contribute to their household income and the economies of their communities. We identify policies that will enable the labour market participation of youth and work with government and youth stakeholders for their implementation.
Access to decision-makers and engaging in active citizenship is for young people to develop their personal and collective leadership and participate in nation-building. NGYouthSDGs believes that the participation of young people in civic duties creates national pride and is the bedrock for engagement in active citizenship. We provide opportunities for young people to interact with decision-makers in their communities, states, and the nation on issues that are important to youth.
