EAST AFRICA YOUTH HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY PROJECT RESOURCES

The Africa Youth Trust (AYT) East African Regional Human Rights and Democracy program entitled “East African Youth Reinventing a Democratic and Human Rights Culture and Centering Youth Voices in Regional Law Making” is aimed at enhancing youth participation in the promotion and practice of democracy and human rights within the East African Community region whilst providing an avenue for central youth involvement in the legislative processes of the East African Legislative Assembly to advocate for youth-centered regional laws for the promotion of democracy and human rights.

The program, seeks to establish and promote an East African Youth Charter on Democracy and Human rights; create a vibrant network of East African youth continuously engaged in advocating for pertinent human rights and democracy-related issues; and also seeks to create a structured mechanism for young men and women in East Africa to engage the East African Legislative Assembly to promote the enactment and consideration of regional laws aimed at enhancing the observance of human rights, democratic practice and gender equality.

The Project has amassed various resources from across East Africa that are youth centered within the life of the project. To download the documents,please click on the link beside the description
