These initiatives are projects designed and implemented by young people aged 15-32 years. The projects often take place at the grassroots level and are largely carried out by youth volunteers. Initiatives address a broad range of community needs such as employment, access to affordable housing and secure land tenure, safer cities and participation in decision-making. Youth-led development gives young people valuable skills such as project management and teamwork, thus boosting their ability to acquire jobs and participate actively in
society.
