About UNIYIA

United Youth Initiative for Africa (UNIYIA) is a youth-led youth-focused non-profit organisation leading sustainable development in the field of Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction, Smart Agriculture, Circular Economy and Gender Development.

Since 2017, UNIYIA has engaged over 10,000 youth in our SDG awareness and sensitization program which has broadened the youth's sense of making a positive impact by providing them with the know-how on government processes, programs, and projects.

Our Vision

UNIYIA envisions consistently promoting and inspiring sustainable outcomes that young people will leverage to transition Africa to a sustainable future.

Our Mission

Our mission is to develop pathways to empower young people and underprivileged communities to develop sustainable outputs through research, capacity building, advocacy, collaboration and environmental conservation.

Our Focus Areas

UNIYIA's Activities

We focus on sustainable development through various initiatives that empower youth and communities.

Project Management & Development

Project Management & Development

The Climate and Environmental space continue to face many challenges: there are still too many projects that fail, successful practice is too frequently ignored and failure often lies beyond the boundaries of project management.

Given that we are at the pinnacle of a climate emergency, we are open to working with diverse youth-led youth-focused groups/CSOs, communities and generations to implement innovative ideas that pave the way for a greener future.

Research

Research

Creating a sustainable future requires that there is enough food, water and energy for everyone within planetary boundaries. We are committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Development problems are multifaceted, they are local and global, material and social, political and industrial and science alone can't solve them.

Capability Building & Training

Capability Building & Training

Our key strength is to foster growth, good impact, sustainable development and projects globally through top capacity building and training.

Our capacity building and training are based on the most advanced knowledge management and learning principles.

Advocacy

Advocacy

Our programs build young people with knowledge, skills and technology, supporting them in collaborating through networks and connecting to meaningful opportunities.

This helps create an enabling environment for young people to better engage in government and inter-governmental decision mechanisms.

Strategic Partnerships & Collaborations

Strategic Partnerships

UNIYIA fosters meaningful partnerships with stakeholders and international organisations focused on climate change, youth and sustainable development.

We deploy partnership building activities to increase collaboration with communities, local governments, and international organisations.

Global Representation & Engagement

Global Representation

Conferences and events bring industry professionals together to generate leads and develop our presence in the climate and environmental space.

We continuously improve our knowledge, network and connect with potential partners and donors.

Testimonial
"Sometime in the past, food crops like maize did extremely well but due to the unfavourable weather pattern, we harvested low yields and many other disadvantages. But now, SISIL has trained us on climate modification to our benefit."
