The African Youth Panel (AYP) is a bold participatory action research initiative launched to tackle one of Africa’s most pressing challenges — the lack of dignified and fulfilling work for its growing youth population.

Backed by a dynamic partnership between TrustAfrica and the Mastercard Foundation, AYP is giving 200 young changemakers (73% women, 67% from rural areas, 10.5% persons living with disabilities, 89% persons with no tertiary level education) across 10 African countries the tools, voice, and platform to reimagine the future of work — on their terms, in their communities, and for their generation.

Countries: Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe.
