SDG Watch Africa Youth-Network

Our youth Network SDG Watch Africa Youth Network comprises of young Nigerians aged (18 to 35 years), united by a collective vision of propelling Nigeria towards the attainment of the United Nations' Agenda 2030, assuming a proactive stance, and championing the cause of successful Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) implementation across the Nation. Their commitment extends from grassroots engagement within their immediate communities to broader advocacy efforts across the nation. Central to the mission of this Youth Network is the cultivation and nurturing of the next generation of Nigerian leaders with the requisite skills, knowledge, and mindset to assume leadership roles in their communities and beyond, recognizing the pivotal role that effective leadership plays in driving sustainable development. Through a multifaceted approach to capacity-building, this network facilitates training programs, workshops, and mentorship initiatives aimed at honing leadership capabilities among its members. These initiatives are designed to instil essential leadership qualities such as vision, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, empowering young Nigerians to effectively address the complex challenges facing their communities and contribute meaningfully to the broader SDG agenda. Furthermore, this network provides opportunities for hands-on experience and practical leadership development through engagement in community-based projects and advocacy campaigns. By actively involving young Nigerians in initiatives aimed at advancing the SDGs at the local and national levels, the network fosters a sense of ownership, responsibility, and agency among its members, nurturing them into capable and visionary leaders poised to drive positive change in their respective spheres of influence. In essence, SDG Watch Africa Youth Network serves as a transformative platform not only for advancing the SDGs but also for nurturing a new generation of Nigerian leaders who are equipped with the passion, skills, and determination to lead Africa towards a future of sustainable development and prosperity.
