AUNYD amplifies African youth voices by creating pathways for their engagement in high-level decision-making.

Mazingira Yetu Kesho Yetu (Our Environment, Our Future)

This five-year initiative, running from 2022 to 2026, aims to raise climate awareness and mobilize Tanzania’s youth—who make up over 70% of the population—to take an active role in addressing climate challenges. Through youth-led initiatives like climate dialogues, hackathons, boot camps, and essay competitions, the program addresses climate knowledge gaps among young people.
