Youth Network for Community and Sustainable Development

The Youth Network for Community & Sustainable Development is a youth-led movement

catalyzing social change by engaging young people on critical sexual and reproductive issues

affecting them and amplifying their voices to speak for Human Rights, through targeted

advocacy to key players, capacity building and development, communications, and media

engagements, partnerships, and programme implementation. We also work on a broad range

of issues such as Gender, Governance, and Environment, however, our priority over the years

have been on Sexual and Reproductive Health & Rights

Since its inception, YNCSD has been catalyzing efforts of young people toward ending

Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) and gender-based violence, through effective

programming that transforms social norms underpinning these practices as well as promoting

reproductive health and rights for women and girls. Part of our activities is to ensure that

every pregnancy is wanted and women and girls have access to reproductive health services

and are given the opportunity to exercise full agency over their bodies. We pride ourselves to

be a leading youth-led organization delivering quality programmes and interventions for our

donors and partners based in Nigeria and globally.
