We prioritize inclusivity, equality, and solidarity, ensuring women, marginalized groups, and persons with disabilities are fully represented. Through these programs, we cultivate visionary, resilient, and Pan-African youth leaders committed to building a united, self-determined, and prosperous Africa.
Project Vote 263 is the African Institute for Young People’s flagship program dedicated to promoting youth participation in electoral processes across Africa.

The Youth Regional Exchange Program is a flagship initiative of the African Institute for Young People (AIYP), designed to unite young leaders across Africa through solidarity, collaboration, and the cross-pollination of ideas. Recognizing that Africa’s challenges—ranging from governance and social inequality to climate change and youth unemployment—transcend national borders, the program creates a platform where young people can learn from one another, build lasting networks, and co-create solutions that strengthen communities and the continent. It is particularly focused on finding African-led solutions to African problems, ensuring that strategies are locally relevant, context-driven, and domesticated to the continent’s unique realities.
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.
