Igniting Change with Every Youth Interaction
AYDL coordinates the Youth Coalition on Electoral Democracy in Uganda (YCED) which has a membership of over 80 organizations spread across the country. The Coalition spearheads the National Youth Manifesto (NYM) initiative – an innovative framework for continuous advocacy and engagement on nationally agreed mutual policy and program priorities of youth to government and other actors during each five-year political term of office.
Through diverse programs, AYDL offers immersive experiences for volunteers and interns, integrating them into the cultural and developmental fabric of Ugandan communities. Our projects span critical areas such as healthcare, environmental sustainability, women’s empowerment, and youth education. Each initiative is a collaborative effort, reflecting our commitment to empowering individuals and fostering sustainable development.
