The African Institute for Young People upholds constitutionalism and human rights as fundamental pillars for building inclusive, just, and self-determined African societies. Constitutionalism ensures that governance is anchored in law, accountability, and respect for citizens’ rights, while human rights safeguard the dignity, freedoms, and equality of all individuals, particularly youth, women, and marginalized groups. Together, they provide a framework for equitable participation, social justice, and democratic governance.
Our work focuses on empowering young Africans to understand, defend, and promote constitutional principles and human rights. Through mentorship, civic education, advocacy, and capacity-building programs, we equip youth with the knowledge and skills to engage in legal and political processes, hold leaders accountable, and advance rights-based policies. By fostering awareness of constitutional protections and international human rights standards, we enable youth to actively participate in shaping just and accountable institutions.
We also emphasize inclusivity and equality, ensuring that women, persons with disabilities, and marginalized communities are represented and protected under the law. By promoting legal literacy, civic responsibility, and active engagement, we cultivate a generation of informed and empowered leaders committed to defending human dignity and the rule of law.
Guided by Pan-Africanism, Ujamaa principles, and African intellectual traditions, the African Institute for Young People envisions a continent where constitutionalism and human rights are respected, upheld, and used as tools to build resilient, equitable, and self-determined societies.
The African Institute For Young People (AIYP) is a youth-led movement demanding change across Africa. We fight for democracy, social and economic justice, climate action, and reparations, equipping young people to dismantle exclusion and shape the continent’s future—now.
