Overview

Founded in 2013 and entirely youth-led, SYAH is the only regional organization that convenes and empowers young people from the 8 Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in Africa and Asia to collectively advance sustainable development across the region. 1. We empower young people from African and Asian SIDS to take ownership of SIDS development issues and mobilize for impact through action-oriented projects at the grassroots levels. 2. We build their capacities to become effective sustainable development advocates whilst providing them a credible platform to engage in sustainable development policy-making at national, regional, and international levels.
